There has been a lot to talk about self-voting on steemit lately, so I thought I'd share my thoughts openly on the subject.
WHAT I REALLY THINK ABOUT SELF VOTING
VOTE FOR ME, I DO ???
First off, let's remember a few things. People are free to use their votes however they want. This means that if they want to post ten times a day and only vote for themselves, they are completely free to do so. However, I think that many of us would realize that we are all a part of a community. You are not a community.
If you support what you do, you should feel free to vote for yourself. For minnows out there, it really doesn't make a huge difference anyway and you are not even coming close to "draining the rewards pool" by doing so. Feel free to support yourself, but I would highly recommend supporting others too. Some people vote for themselves far more often than others, and a fun way to check is to use this tool : http://steemreports.com/outgoing-votes-info/?account=papa-pepper&days=31
I left my name in the search engine, but swap it out for any other account on steemit. Also, you can adjust the days to search from 1 to 31, so you can check the votes of others over the past day to the past month. Try your own name, and see how you are doing.
Personally, while people are free to do things however they want, they must remember that their actions have consequences. If you want to hear more of what I think, just watch the video above. Thanks!
