Self-votng used to be a default option for posts on the old chain, but I think that set a bad precedent.

If you vote for your own posts, that's one less vote you can give to someone else to support their work. It's one less chance to build the community and the relationships which boost outside voters finding you.

If you vote for yourself, you are deciding you are owed a portion of the reward pool. That sense of entitlement is selfish.

mmm so it is ok to vote for yourself as long as you can justify it....hive is an odd place

Outside of countering malicious downvotes in a vote war, what justifies it to you?

more interesting than anything of how Hive works or doesn't work
