Self-voting should be encouraged. Do you see any other benefits of holding Steem Power? Who is going to buy Steem and power it up just so they can be generous and reward others and not themselves? Nobody in crypto!

I disagree with that, it should be based on contribution. People tend to overestimate their contribution and will thus over-self vote themselves. But the spamming behavior of most people getting an @freedom delegation should be frowned upon.
I think everyone should get more critical and use the downvote about 10% of the time. (this is the ratio of up/down votes on Reddit. (with much less direct financial incentives)
A solution that is being looked at is to have a separate downvoting power of smaller size (1/10) that is independent from upvoting.
Very well said.
What about those that are contributing without success
@ewuoso that’s my thought exactly. Even though I just started my account this week, and people say it takes time, I feel like inked I say I’m 17 or write about a death in my family for a sympathy post I’m not going far. What’s interesting to me is seeing people their first day hit over 100. I still haven’t figured that one out.
yah man my eight cent upvote is getting right up there on the trending :)
Self-vote or play swaps with a buddy. Let us know when you have some more SP to delegate :D
Well I do UV my posts but I like to wait until day 5 or 6 so I'm not fucking anyone on curation rewards.. that's why I've powered up what I can.. I just thought it was frowned upon by the general community
many of us were the same till we realized we ALL were getting fucked, no lube
fuck back.....power in numbers not on one freaking arm of this Kracken from the bowels of Hell, :P
I agree with this 1 million percent. Back when Steemit first started, There was more benefit to Steem power. And If I wasn't allowed to at least upvote my own posts it would make me not want to hold any of my power.
