I can't say I entirely disagree with you, but I've always seen self-upvotes as a form of approving of your own content, rather than taking your perspective out of the equation and allowing others to be the judge. In other words, I see self-upvoting as another form of masturbation, you're only making yourself feel good, and some people are ok with that.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes you approve your own content. But it doesn't make you immune. Other stake holders can upvote and downvote you at the same time. Others will judge you also. You have to understand that this place is a win-win-win platform. It's in everyone's best interest that others also win. How many go crazy on self upvote? Less than 1%. So you judge the majority on the minority of actions.
I love self voting.
I love free markets which may include self voting even as I don't self vote myself, but I value freewill and freedoms to make choices and to allow for the rewards and consequences for our actions, our responsibility, our accountability, in and from those actions and I love @Stefan.Molyneux and philosophy. Upvoted.
