I have more than one account, and whether or not people think well of it or not I upvote my own accounts with my other accounts. I don't understand how that is somehow not cool when steemit is full of bots that upvote for pay, so if someone has a problem with me upvoting myself, well, go back to YouTube dude.
But here is my question, are we being scammed? I put over $175 of my ETH into Steemit between my accounts and the one that has the most money has the most upvoting power. What did my $175 get me? A lame $0.01 upvoting power and if we upvote too frequently all the power drops, so I'm really not sure how it is much of a return on investment.
However, it really doesn't seem that my accounts are truly being rewarded accurately. Everytime I upvote something it says $0.01 added to that comment or post. But 7 days later all my upvoting comes out to something like 0.001 steem and 0.001 SP for the whole week!!! That's insane and makes Steemit as an investment a super crappy investment.
For this reason, I fully intend to put my $175 (which is worth like $133 now) into Ethereum Classic which is about to go on Coinbase and explode in value...
What do you think? Am I missing something here in my calculations?
