RE: ๐ The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes available!
Thank you @abh12345 :) I took it easier this week for sure, but even if I hadn't, I'm not sure I could have come close to reaching Glen's numbers!
Congratulations to all the winners as well!
As far as self-votes go, I like the way you've been doing it Ash. There's something to say for no self-votes and in fact, I used to very occasionally upvote myself, but because of this League, I don't at all any more. And for personal reasons, I like the way I feel not self upvoting.
Glen was clearly on fire this past week. Perhaps you can organise which one of you is going to go all out on a particular week? :D
Thanks for the feedback on the self-votes. I wanted to ask because, well, I'm sure you've been reading around and seen the discussions. I think so far, the community is hugely in favor of keeping a small penalty.
Have a lovely Sunday Lynn!
Were there actually people that said you should remove the penalty?
While reading those comments I was wondering how many of the whales, orcas and dolphins self vote? And what's the average percentage they self vote?
Of I think about some of the big earners, they mostly all upvote their own posts. But I think and hope that's just because my mind remembers those and not the ones like you that don't self vote.
Perhaps a nice subject for blockchainbi research?
@abh12345, I will never be able to complete with Glen's numbers this past week. I guess he really liked being the top dog and set a fire under his own behind haha
Yes, I've been following the discussions around regarding self-votes; I'm glad it's leaning towards the small penalty.
Thank again Asher ;)
I get what you mean about the feeling of not self-voting. There's definitely an attraction to self-voting, but I feel better about not. I can also see the other side of the argument from reading other people's responses. It could easily be considered marketing or whatever, but I just make a personal choice not to self-vote. It helps that I'm in the league, because it's extra motivation to not do so.
@themanwithnoname I feel the exact same way, and if others choose to do it, that's certainly within their right to do so.
Yeah, it's their right and if I were in a position to be able to get a living wage from self-voting myself, I'd be tempted to do so. As it is, it's more of a game for me, so I'd rather play it how I think I should than how I could. That might change in the future, but I really like helping people on their journeys and I like that it feels like I'm helping build something.
Fast-Reply? How'd you get into that?
Yes, that would be tempting ;)
Fast Reply: check out my latest post...just found it and I love it.
I missed that post. I'll check it out.
Congratulations to you. You're always able to take whatever time you have and make it meaningful and impacting.
I guess I was kind of a man on a mission this week, but even so, I was hoping my numbers would get higher. I'm happy to be over 200K-plus again. I felt like I was slacking somehow, though I'm not sure what I would have done differently the previous two weeks. I guess there are just times where things don't work out despite what may very well be your best efforts. :)
@glenalbrethsen I'm always pleasantly surprised to see where I am in the standings...sounds like you and I are our own worst critics :)
If we are, then that's not a bad thing, really. That means we've got no one else to worry about but ourselves. And we won't feel pushed except by ourselves, and we won't have to answer to anyone but ourselves. Sounds like a pretty good combination to me. :)
@glenalbrethsen, that sounds absolutely perfect :)
