RE: How I see being a newcomer / low account on Steem
Thanks so much. I never knew there are some steemians who don't like self-upvotes.
Thanks very much for the advice. I think this is going to make sense to me and I am going to utilise this opportunity very well.
The reason why so many people dislike self-vote is that each vote directs a bit of the steems on the reward pool toward the post that's voted on.
As a result, if you self-vote, you are deciding unilaterally that your post is of good quality enough to be a reward. It might be inconsequential if you upvote your own "real quality" post with a low-SP account. But when your vote takes 100$ out of the reward pool toward a 10-word post, now that's abuse.
Plus the quality is a very subjective matter... what you think is quality isn't what other thinks is quality, as a result, thus self-vote becomes a sensitive question, don't you think?
I disagree.
