Depends on who you ask.

If you were to post 1 article per day, and self-upvote it, then you only would have to cast 3 additional votes to break even against dilution.

Additional votes to support the community would let you grow your stake.

See you are doing it the right way. :)

When you power-up steem, you got 1.299% dilution recovery in 2018, but as of today its 1.754%

This difference is because many users power down. Maybe we should ask everyone to powerdown, whehehe, just joking...
