Hey @karenb54, it does kind if sound like that person was being a bit selfish! On one hand I think people should be free to do whatever they want with their hard earned Steem Power. On the other hand I agree that this is supposed to be a community and if everybody only upvoted themselves Steemit would be pretty dumb. I try to upvote posts and comments of the blogs I read equal to my own so everyone benefits. I would never upvote a blog post with zero voting power and turn around and upvote myself to the tune of $15. Thanks for the interesting post and Steem on!
