RE: Opinion - Why you shouldn't upvote yourself
@timcliff Upvoting because it's an important topic but I totally disagree with you here.
Upvoting doesn't hurt anything, even yourself. Yes after awhile it starts to impact the dollar value of your vote, but if you're a minnow your vote has almost no dollars.
Deplete the power to 0 each day, upvote and comment as much as you can and vote up everything you say. This will increase your power dramatically. Look at my history I've been here less than 2 weeks and have earned everything I have despite drawing off my steem dollars daily and using it to wine and dine friends to get them to come here.
So be generous with your upvotes even to yourself. You're spreading a little love and kindness and even a tiny amount of money around.
Thanks for the reply. It is an interesting point of discussion. It does say that if you vote more than 20 times that the weight of your vote goes down, so the point of my article was that you could maximize 'spreading the love' if you spent 100% of your upvoting on other people's posts.
I've actually found another situation where it seems OK/good to upvote yourself, and that is if you aren't going to have time to read and find 20 other good pieces of content to vote on within 24 hours. In that case, your remaining votes would be 'wasted' so you might as well upvote yourself if you think it is good content.
If all you do (William Banks) is resteem other's posts, how is it that you have earned so much SP? Did you fund your account initially? You did say you earned it but I don't see where.
