Damn. There should be clear rules. Not just opinions of what is OK and what not.

Yeah people get sensitive about stuff on here. lol I even offered to return the .05 SBD lol He might have gotten mad because their programming didn't work right. I still got a big chunk of prize money that I was supposed to have lost when he unvoted me and flagged me.

Yeah, some people even get pissed if you upvote yourself. I mean, really? Like you can't value your own input, what good are you then? Most of the time I just upvote myself and the person I'm replying to with the same Steem voting power. Plus I give an upvote to the article. Seems fair to me, because it is given to people using the platform.

Part of it may have been a language barrier but I think Steemit does mirror life. It sucks but it's probably a good sign that I am getting some "hate" although I would definitely prefer no flags and be allowed in every program and have a big delegation. lol
If you don't have haters you ain't doin *shit! lol

What short sided people miss is this animosity against things like self voting pushes people into delegating towards bots. You might get bigger rewards if you just delegated to bots like everyone else. Maybe I'll do a post about it tomorrow or soon.
In addition animosity towards self voters I think helps discourage investment in the platform which would help lead to a higher Steem price and higher rewards values.

Would be cool if you could include how to use Steemconnect in your explanation. I'm still not sure what that is, how safe it is. Which key should one be using?

I use my main sign in with it. It seems pretty safe. It's what you normally use when you use bots. Have you ever signed into Dtube or Dlive? That's how I sign into those as well.
I was nervous at first to use it but I pretty much had to use it to use https://steembottracker.com/

Yeah, I'm pretty scared to use the master key in another website. But steemit.con and steemconnect.com are from the same owners?

I think different but not sure.
