Yeah I totally agree. I have people that I follow that I upvote daily because I like what they write. There's always random posts that I find that I upvote too.
The thing I have to remind myself when I do self vote though, I'm not making comments purely so I can self vote, the comments I make are because I have something to say. I have seen many people spam a bunch of letters and nonsense just so they can self vote. That is totally wrong.
