This issue here is not people upvoting thier own comments it is a problem yes do i do it yes.
The real issue and i dont give 2 shits about people that are making 500 -1000 a post losing a 100 here 100 there it is the fact no one upvotes now. alot small post people that don't got a few dolphins or whales or 200 people that upvote are getting nothing but 1 or 2 votes witch is now getting these people nere nothing for post.
So do i think voting your own comments a shity way but for me now everyone only has 10 votes they are only upvoting post worth 1000's by blogers who can make more off a post then the guys who make a few cents to a few dollars.
so i think the real problem is only 10 votes not upvoting to try to make something.
Also i will be only upvoting post that are good and not getting upvotes.
no more comments no more high paying post.
this community is starting to become 1%
Occasionally up-voting your own well-thought-out and important comment to get it noticed is a reasonable action -- I myself have done that a couple of times on posts with far too many comments to be heard otherwise. Upvoting awesome comments by others is a public service.
You can have any number of upvotes by using the slider. Setting it to 25% makes it like HF19 never happened.
WE need to figure out how to prevent this community from becoming the 1% . . . . but a lot of people are trying.
You can only switch to less power when you get to 500 steem power. I see alot whales or other higher power users only upvoting them selves 100% and maybe leaving 1 or 2 @ much lower for comments and one whale will only up vote his comments if they have upvoted there own comment. this is the crap that is gonne drain the reward pool and ruin this for e everyone.
There is a lot great content out there that gets no upvote or resteem cause peeople just spend all there power or shity ass comments.
so i am all for the getting rid people abusing it and i must say i might have at one point but always upvoted post i felt worth it. But can't get rid of it.
so anything i can do to help i will
