RE: Your vote doesn't count for shit, and you don't matter!
Thanks for the tips. I am only a week in and could use the info.
Personally I have had issues with a lot of users looking for a quick quid pro quo in the form of an upvote for their upvote. Instead of adding any valuable critiques or comments to my posts.
Is this proper steemit etiquette or should these users be ignored?l for not adding value?
@briansmith365 good info here for us newbies. Lol
Depending on who you ask, there's technically nothing wrong with "vote for vote".
However, in my experience a) The author hasn't read your post and they're automatically spamming 100s of posts (if that's the case, then feel free to downvote them) and b) even if it was legit, you're wasting your voting power that you could be using to upvote/thank people that are legitimately interested in your content.
In short: It's 100% 'legal' , but frowned upon by most, and probably a waste of your VP, so best to just ignore (and/or downvote).
P.S. Downvoting uses up your bandwidth and VP as well, so use sparingly in the beginning days.
