I'm a little torn about self voting. I've basically never self voted once. I never do on any social media platform. I dunno. I feel tacky doing it. Everything I put up is quality, but I don't like patting myself on the back about it. As my SP continues to grow, and my votes are actually worth something, ive been considering it though.
I've worked hard to earn what I have, after all! I also like using my SP/VP upvoting others posts and comments. When I see a post with 40 upvotes and it's worth $.01 or some small amount, and I go vote them with my dime, I know they'll feel it and will probably go check out my blog. Trying to decide the most effective way to use my power.
I like your insight, @tetsuo. I didn't really think about it like that. I'm not sure how bad no upvoted comments hurts ones rep, I'll def be researching more. My rep hasn't gone anywhere but up, but that's mostly thanks to dsound giving me fat votes on all my music anyways.
I was also bummed to hear you're not posting more of your comic progress :'( I really enjoyed those, but understand your sentiment. Honestly I think not enough people are aware of you and your excellent work :)
I'm always talking about you, for what it's worth. Always telling people about the awesome animator/illustrator I met on Steemit. Been making sure I have some liquid SBD for that commissioned piece, as well.
I hope you have been well, @tetsuo. P.S.- I'm going to upvote this comment ;)
