It's difficult hard to not see this as a "click my referral link" promo. I thought this type of stuff was frowned upon, no? :(

If you steemit doesn't what people upvoting their own posts, then remove the option. I upvote my posts because I can.
Everyone can upvote their stuff, sure. I do sometimes to try to work my way up on a comment list to get the attention of an author or upvote my post as a minnow to try to stand out slightly on the new posts. However, I was only talking about self-upvoting to the other commenter.
Now seeing two comments self-upvoted 100% (which could've been just one edited comment), I'm left wondering why you wouldn't also share the rewards pool with the commenter who clearly supported you. The option is there and you can. That's the type of thought process that generally frustrates me - and I'm just venting when I see it. ...Someone upvoted your post, engaged me on your blog in your general defense, and you upvoted two of your replies, and not them.
No need to debate anything further. We've both made our points. I'm very curious about EOS and appreciate steps on how to buy it, but just had my opinion about pasting links in with referrals attached without explicitly mentioning it so people can be aware.
Why in the world would I throw away a referral opportunity?
What's wrong with referral links on your own posts? I think it's when you post comment on other people's posts that's frowned upon.
Two schools of thought, of which you're obviously in the other. Same goes for upvoting yourself 100% on the majority of your recent comments.
