RE: STEEMIT TIPS: Dolphin 101- You're reading comments wrong! (about to cross 2400 followers!)

in #howto8 years ago

Very interesting. I didn't know it was frowned upon to like your own comment? So it's OK if I want to get to the top of the comments? Actually can you explain this I'm confused a bit! I have upvoted some of my comments.. didn't see the harm. But I'd like some clarity as you'll be here for the next 30 mins ;)

Well, you're a minnow. It doesn't really matter if you upvote or now. 3 cents isn't gonna rape teh rewardpool. Ned however can pop out $4800 or so on 1 comment and I think could do that 10 times a day. So, it's kinda rude and rapey to go around upvoting your own comments when you have a lot of SP. But if you're doing it to make a point or get one accross to the author it isn't always wasted.

ah ok, thanks. Might be a silly question but.. where does the voting money come from? Do I lose money every time I vote? because I've been voting a fair bit. And $4800 a comment is insane???

Money comes from the reward pool which is dictated by the price of steem and the inflation rate. right now inflation is about 10% so that's where the new steem comes from.

Interesting. So its all about spreading the wealth...if you have it.
