RE: Proof of Reading - POR -- Self-Voting comments is a good thing...
I agree with you regarding self upvoting of comments. It is currently the right of everyone to do it however I have one caveat. I had a commenter a couple of days ago who wrote a comment, self voted $12 and didn't vote for the post.
I thought that was rude. To use my post as a catalyst for self payment and not share the wealth even a little bit is bad etiquette IMO.
Upvoted you and my comment 😀
I've had that exact thing happen to me and it drives me nuts. Most of my community are minnows. Dedicated but new to the platform and don't have a lot of SP. So, they do the right thing and I make $0.40. Then some guy comes in says, "great post" and pays himself $1.00 and me nothing.
That's just beyond rude.
Thank you for engaging in the conversation
And thank you for caring so much about it. I, like you, feel Steemit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take control of both our content and our time. We are the drivers of value but to this point it's been the middle men making all the money.
And the community needs to realize this and use the power of the comment as well as the post itself to remunerate them for their time and ours.
I totally agree with the bad etiquette thing. There's nothing more demoralizing than taking the time to read someone's content, give them a comment (not 'good job' etc.) To have them reply 'thanks' then up vote that reply and get $1 but not up vote the minnow who gave the comment and bothered to read their post! I do realise however that some posters need to recharge their voting power and will delay in up voting comments, but some people are just plain rude
I appreciate you taking part in the conversation. If you only have so many votes a day, it can be hard to figure out how to use them.
OMG I totally hate it when they do that, also even if they don't selfvote, I always get a number of replies, that have not voted on my post. I always upvote any post that I respond to.
Nice self-voting. Good job. You also showed POR.
