RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change
Don't forget the underdog handicap we would be losing by replacing the 30 minute window with a 5 minute one. https://steemit.com/curation/@beanz/the-problem-with-the-current-curation-system#@sigmajin/re-beanz-the-problem-with-the-current-curation-system-20170120t025022414z
Why do you upvote your own comments all the time? It's kind of distasteful.
This is my self voting percentage for the last 3 weeks.
I vote for myself only for visibility. If steemit inc includes a UI for declining payout on comments I would use it.
Thank you for explaining yourself. It seems you care a lot about Steemit so I thought I would ask why you were pumping your own comments.
I get it now. Whoever has the most money that's who's comment should be first. Right?
I don't have the most money. I pay for the delegation so in my mind at least I'm paying to have the comment seen, yes.
I personally feel that it takes away from perhaps a really good comment from a user who can't afford large personal upvotes that's all. Not a lot of people will scroll the entire comment section and read everything where the gem comment of this entire article may live.
It is self defeating to expect people to invest in steem and even powerup to steem power (a min 13 week commitment to the platform) and then criticize writers who choose to use their steem power to promote their writings.
So you're saying it's good for the platform to upvote your own comments that you make on other peoples posts because you invested in Steem?
Sounds to me like you need to read a little bit more into what you've invested in then my friend. Your invest won't be worth very much if everyone upvote every comment they made.
While you may have answered what he meant, I note he didn't say it was cool.
It just isn't realistic to expect it of most folk.
I don't, and you probably don't, and a lot of folks don't either. Our principles aren't the only answers people have gotten to their own quests for meaning, and in this sense, I must agree with @delusionalmadman.
It isn't realistic to expect it. As you point out, in that case, it isn't realistic to expect Steemit to succeed, either. The fact that you're both right is kinda depressing LOL
I'm glad I ran across your comments here. Followed =)
Thanks!
Here you can be just like this guy in the future. Upvoting your own comments because you invested so it's cool right?

I don't remember ever upvoting my own comments.
Read the post attached to the comment then tell me it wasn't an important point to be made and seen by readers of this post.
Noted on the gem comments. I'll read from the bottom and try to bring up some constructive comments.
I have read your article and realize that you 10 month so ago made near the same proposal as blocktrades has now.
Thank you reading from the bottom up and considering upvoting some not so wealthy stake holders who have made some good comments!
My proposal wasn't the same at all...
I will read your post!
Hehehe... that's long discussions both of you, I am very enjoy to follow it then I laugh by my self. Funny. I am just joined in steemit, I love it and very proud. you know, I have ten hours at front my laptop until this second. Comment lot of people, resteem if need it, then I meet both of you. enjoying both of your discussion made me refreshed, in my place already at 1.30 in the morning. Very glad to meet you @hendrix22 and you too @beanz. veehehe.... I love you all guys. Have fun. PEACE.
@beanz believes his contribution tl be valuable.
*her
I would say everyone would believe their own comment to be valuable. Wouldn't you agree? Why would one take time to write a comment which they thought was stupid or invaluable?
if there are a lot of comments but none have been voted up and
I think i have something of value to contribute i will vote myself to get to get it as high on the list as i can.
But if its not so important to me i don't bother. But will vote on my own posts : )
Steemit has now implemented eward by choice on your comments the same way as posting now. If we feel we have a comment of value like you are saying above we can choose the option decline payout which you force our comment to the top without the reward for the huge upvote. I don't think voting your post is a problem. Only people that make 20 posts a day
Ha, I'm new here but I am one of those who will read through the entire comments! I know, I know! What am I doing with my life? Growing the steemit blockchain with my time on the platform... (smile!)
Yes, so what are your thoughts on what you've read?
Ummm... can I ask where to get a pic like this for my own upvotes? (It seems website generated, that's why I asked)
