Indeed. It would bring much better engagement on every post and that's what we need !

I almost upvoted my own comment (lulz)

Why not just disallow all self-voting? Of course there are workarounds, but I don't understand the desire to allow it "for visibility". Doesn't everyone want more visibility? If everybody would do this, then nobody should do this, as it would all cancel itself out. Or make it so every post is automatically self-upvoted. Just make it an all or nothing proposition.

I thought there was a button somewhere you could "auto upvote" your own comments already? Or was it auto-upvote your own posts?

Just your posts. It's assumed that you want to vote for your own posts, and I don't think people really frown on that, but they do frown on upvoting your own comments, or, at least, it's controversial.

I think I have an idea:
THE STEEMIT UPVOTE CAPTCHA

a bot that verify the human upvote...like a "captcha" type of bot that at the moment of upvoting it will ask you to write down a funny looking word lol...

"self-upvoting" bots would die in agony

also it would make you think twice before upvoting .. thinking about the time you have to lose to "captch" it...

...so you must really like a content to go thru an upvote..

am I missing something here? what do you think...
