Right now your account is $5. Don't you want a whale to come see an awesome post you wrote and upvote you 100% instantly giving you $200? Well that won't happen if everyone is just upvoting their own comments and posts and collecting the money themselves. The self regulating structure of this community needs to be reworked with HF19. The blockchain can't make everything fair. We, as its participants, have to set a new moral foundation to preserve the essence and longevity of this community. While HF19 was a positive thing, it made the site more susceptible to schemes that could harm it. Dan is exactly right. Social rules have to guide us now more than ever.
Steemit isn´t perfect, not sure if it works at all.
You could just transfer your coins to another account and upvote your posts, no one will notice (or to mulitple)
I joined steemit because I think we need to decentralize all major platforms (like facebook, google, amazon) but I´m not sure if this steemit is really working in the long term. Any one that can correct me on that ?
Correct! There is nothing wrong with upvoting your own post. But let's say you leave 10 short comments a day and self vote them all at 100%... this is probably not to the benefit of the community. Also... no one person says what is right or wrong to do... the community as a whole will decide organically over time.
