I do upvote my posts, after 25-30 minutes but I don't do it with my comments. Coz either way the author has probably seen your comment and will still ignore it depending on his/her views/mood. Proof I've seen people upvote their comments, get no reaction while I got it and vice versa. And also that plan of upvoting all comments wouldn't make sense if you have a 0.01$ worth vote, it would drain all your vp and make your votes worthless in no time. I should know since I'm mostly running on delegation and it's fairly recent :)
that 0.01 is what my voting power was when I started out. If you are running on leased delegation, or leasing steempower you'd need to upvote yourself around 10 times a day to make a small profit, it will grow over time. reading and commenting takes time, you gotta show me that you value your own time. upvote yourself to get an upvote from me. ^____^' I don't know, that's just what I believe.
I read that the currency is in a constant state of depreciation to encourage growth.
I'd wait until the fifth or sixth day to upvote yourself to retain your vote's value.
Yeah im on delegated sp, should end tomorrow but I might lease some after. But the one I have is free and I'm wondering whether or not it's profitable to buy it because I've heard some people say its not. If I do tho I might try your strategy and see how it works out and if I don't...then I'll remember to upvote my comments when I visit your posts :)
