The post or comment getting upvoted gets that payout... A person can upvote his own post or the post of others... It can be 5 comments into a conversation of replies and if that's the one that gets voted on, whoever wrote it will get the upvote... I'm surprised you never noticed...
@pocketechange I'll upvote the comment you just made for an example...

Ok so that $0.03 with your upvote pays me than. But if you replied to my comment and Upvoted your own reply you get the money? I think I am getting it now. Why would you bother paying yourself. You spend the money only to get it back in 7 days. That's weird. Lol

I'm not sure where the upvote money comes from.. I haven't noticed my money going down when I upvote someone or myself...

I have to find some time in my crazy life and actually figure out this Steemit. I feel so lost all the time in here.

Seems like we can only upvote about 10 times a day to hold onto our Steem... I went nuts when you were away an started upvoting everything in site... I know better now... lol...
@pocketechange

Lol well I hope when you went nuts you at least had fun? Lol

My votes were 4 cents each time I voted... Before I was lucky to see my votes bring someone a penny...lol... It quickly started going down and down...
@pocketechange

I think mine is $0.02 for an upvote. But that does seem to change a lot.
