RE: Restaurant Review- Eating Good in the Neighborhood.... with neckbeards!
It's a different paradigm for sure, you got to stay positive and up vote yourself. I just make fun of people in a different way now but I dig the positive vibe, it's starting to rub off on me. I had an epiphany when I was making fun of someone but they didn't know and wrote a really nice reply and up vote. I felt a little juvenile. It's like world of tanks or anything else with tokens, you can grind out and slowly advance or you can spend actual money on it and then skip ahead.
in the next week I will be getting .004% of the total payout.
From what I read you actually hurt yourself by up voting yourself. Don't know if that is true.
one guy said it was rude, I explained that you must love yourself before you can love another or be loved. I think they get upset when whales only up vote themselves, that steemworld site gives a percentage of self up votes
lol, there's a trick to all the madness, have you read up about the timing of placing your vote, there's several articles out there on it, here's one: https://steemit.com/steemit/@calamus056/curation-rewards-explained-in-great-detail. Up voting yourself can hurt you way more than a whale, he has lots of power you don't. He's always going to get a high return regardless whereas if you don't have a lot of voting power because you depleted the value of your votes you don't make as much on post you upvote that earn a lot of money. Trying to decipher the whole thing makes your head spin.
what they are likely talking about is curation rewards, there are some formulas for maximizing that but curation rewards are not shit,(someone who claimed to understand it and spent a lot of time doing it was only making like $20-30 a week, he did better with a voting bot. ) a waste of time, your vote is basically worthless at this point at best, except in one way, to boost up your comments because your worthless vote still puts your comment or post higher than all the ones with 0 votes, and your vote plus someone else's puts it above all those with just one vote and so on. Exposure is much more valuable, note how only the top comments really pay out.
