With the hard fork coming up in September it won’t matter anyway...past 30 minutes rewards go primarily to curators rather than authors.
I guess some people wait until the last 12 hours before self voting...I try to avoid it in general cause (as you can see) it pisses some people off.
I'm not really pissed off. I'm just having a bit of fun. And of course there is also a bit of a truth in my comment.
I would actually advice most people to upvote their own posts directly. Since that results in receiving part of the curation fee yourself. And with part I refer to a part of the curation fee from later upvotes.
So next to a direct self vote you can also do a few more things to minimize the curation rewards and maximize the author reward.
Yeah I'm going to stop self-voting for a little while at least. I really didn't know some people were so against it.
I'm not sure what your source is for rewards going primarily to curators after HF20?
I didn't read all the posts about this upcoming HF20, but I thought at least 75% will be paid out as author reward, correct?
Self-vote curation rewards will be returned to the pool.
