RE: Grey Areas of STEEM : #1 Legitimate Self-Voting vs Abusive Self-Voting
It's an interesting debate. I was dead set against it at one time but now I share my votes out between self voting and curating. I have a long term plan and self voting helps me to achieve that plan. At the same time I don't leave pointless "Great post!" comments, I do try to add value to posts. I generally don't upvote posts that have just copied a link or video from somewhere else, although I might comment on them.
I don't think it's a grey area, I think it's just a matter of choice. Having said that if they restricted self voting I wouldn't be overly bothered.
I'd be really interested to hear how the Self-Voting fits into your long term plan if you feel like sharing.
I'm just trying to build steempower, reputation and followers to the point where I can create a reasonable income from each of my posts (somewhere between $10 and $50). This will take a long time so in the meantime everything gets ploughed back into steempower. Generally if I get to the end of the day and I have plenty of voting power left I will use it up on self votes rather than let it sit at 100% which would be a waste of my voting power. Given that it all gets turned into steempower nobody loses out and many people gain from higher powered votes.
Seems logical and reasonable. Thanks for sharing :)
