Oh boy! I had not known it is acceptable to upvote myself! I sort of had a feeling that, even if it is possible, it is not ethical.

I'm still trying to work out the ethical side of it, but I like patting myself on the back :)

I had read that if I watch for new posts and I get in among the first, I can share whatever that post earns, with the poster ending up with about 70% of earnings. Are you saying that by self-upvoting I could end up keeping a higher percentage?

I am following you because I find you interesting, but I do not ask that you return the favour. If you enjoy my kind of writing and you follow, that would mean far more to me.
