RE: Want an upvote from me? Don't ask! Don't upvote yourself either!
I never voted for my own comments or posts until recently when I found out that posts/comments with less than .02 earning don't pay out and are considered"dust" votes. Now I have occasionally been upvoting my own comments, but only when someone else did too, and the payout from their vote is .01, knowing my vote will at least push it to that.02 threshold. My reasoning was the other person voting didn't waste their vote on my comment that way, but, maybe I'll stop even doing that.
@dustsweeper can help with that one.

They will upvote every comment under the dust threshold so you can keep the dust, without upvoting yourself. Also you don't have to check for it all the time.
I'm just explaining my mindset. If you want ME to up vote you, don't expect me to by begging "Please up vote me" or up voting yourself. Both are huge "turn offs" to me wanting to upvote you myself.
I used to vote on like 50 posts a day when I first got into Steemit, I still find it hard to not burn all my voting power each day if I hang around on here too long lol
Get above the FVL and be able to fractionally vote. Once you can vote with less than the full 2% VP per vote it makes life a lot easier to balance!
Umm, what's FVL? lol
@shadowbot term join us if you want to really expand!
Looking into it all now. 1065 SP is a long way away, at the rate I'm going now it'd take me around 8 years lol I'm confused though,if I join before I reach that threshold, wouldnt my voting power get killed every day?
We ALL contribute our VP (look at my accounts they vote too). The system is designed to allocate your extra VP when you aren't using it, and while you are active a percentage of your VP each day to the pool. For that, you get back from others in the pool.
I'll check into it more 2moro, it's about time for me to get some sleep in the meantime.
