RE: CTP Chat For May 18th, 2021
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Question: I noticed in some of the different hive communities, upvote their own posts. When I first started, I upvoted a few but stopped. Granted you are suppose to upvote quality content and if you feel your content is great why should you not upvote it. On the other hand, quality is subjective and it is based on what others interpret as quality. What is everyone's opinion regarding upvoting your own content?

It’s your stake and you hold the keys to the wallet. You can upvote/downvote however you choose and everyone else can do the same.
I have wondered the same thing.
I don't usually upvote myself because I want to know if my posts are interesting to other people.
Impressing myself is not what I need. The feedback is what I need to become a better marketer.
I guess if there is a benefit of staking it could be worth it.
But really how much does it benefit me?
I did it for the first 3 years on the blockchain.
Then I figured it would be much better giving those votes to others.
That being said, I'm not anti-self vote for content at all, your stake you can do with it as you wish...Voting your own comments is weird tho lol
There are some unwritten rules on Hive. It is ok to upvote our own posts but it's kind of frowned upon if we upvote our own comments :-). Don't ask me why...
I don't upvote my own stuff unless it's accidental. :D I save my upvote juice for good content from ctp folks. Plus, since it is sometimes frowned upon, I just choose to do what's aboveboard to build up goodwill toward my account.
I think self-voting is strange...
It's like those people linking their own posts on Facebook ahaha
But then again there are big accounts out there that are worth doing self-vote to compensate for some downvotes they might get or so for example.
And it is your keys and your account and this is a free will space so you can do whatever you feel is right :)
