RE: Temporarily pausing my anti-abuse efforts while SBD is off the chart.
Out of curiosity @flauwy, why do you not upvote your own articles?
I read a post one time by an active member who stated, upvotes are for quality content and I focus on writing quality content so my stuff deserves a post.
This made sense to me. I dont post youtube videos or stuff like that...I try to produce quality content that people will enjoy.
Just curious as to your reasoning.
Yeah, you are right. Self-upvotes are totally justified if you create good content. It was just an experiment of mine because @fulltimegeek has delegated Steem Power to me for free and runs an analysis of all his delegees. I wanted to get a better ranking and see how it goes. I did that for a week but that is over now. LOL
Hello! Its really just a philosophical stance, since self-voting doesn't give any real information to the coming to agreement on quality, I really don't think it should be allowed.
But it is! And since it is, it can be done, and probably no one should complain about it. But I masterbate in private. Usually.
Upvoting is tied to reward. The problem is that reward is heavily tied to influence and visibility. Loosening the relation between reward and visibilty easily solves this problem.
