Hey, I'm new to d.tube. I was wondering whether the smackdown affects the vote or the money. I'm not quite sure... I love to thumb up my own comments. I don't care about the money really for thumbing myself. It's more for therapeutic and self-love reasons. Also, does it affect liking your own videos afterwards? I'm just trying to see if I can actually use self-vote strategically (ex: making your comments more visible to others) or are you trying to eradicate such behavior completely (if so, does it affect videos)? Actually, I'm trying to know whether it has overall a negative effect or just a neutral one at the end of the day. Cheers.
