RE: What if we encouraged self-voting?
Steemit is more interactive for me, but I've worked hard to get over 4,000 followers over the past year and 8,000+ posts and comments. Was it that way in the beginning? Nope.
For many, it just takes time and patience. Many of the people I end up following consistently leave great comments on my posts and provide wonderful engagement. They do it consistently and so I check out their blogs and end up following them and voting up their content here and there. That's how I gained followers and that's how others do also. I don't think encouraging self-voting on comments will change that process.
I also see that you have worked hard and have a good following. I do agree that is the main part. I also think growing an account is still a difficult effort and I would like to see the site hold more value via relationships and if the smaller accounts upvote their stuff as they grow, I support it.
This takes nothing away from the fact you have worked hard and built a great following.
I see what you're getting at. Thanks for explaining. If it's a small account trying to build up enough Steem Power to have a vote that matters, then I can see the argument for helping them get there a little quicker.
I can also see the argument for them to put in some real money, buy some Steem, and power up their account. :)
Now I think we are in complete agreement. I should do a post about that as well.
Anyone who can - should put some money in if they want their investment to grow. Hear Hear. Even 20-100 bucks would make a huge difference during that early phase.
a YUUUUGE difference. :)
