bullionstackers
I'm loving the comments & your killing it! Your comment has more $ then my post! Congrats! (That's awesome)
I hear you! Thanks for the sharing, namaste :)
That's something everyone should live by. :)
Upvote for yourself if you think your post will make it big. Don't upvote if you aren't sure. I never upvote because I'm pretty sure none of my posts will make the front page. :)
I upvoted for you.
I upvoted you two :P
I upvote you three 👍😜
Good Job
bullionstackers
Edited- Thank You Sir blueorgy upvote for you again vvv

hmm could get interesting...
I upvote you four :)
Keep up the good work.
Sir blueorgy
We need you to upvote for us all
👍👍👍
Thanks

Have to prob cool it with the up votes soon haha , thinking I will wait a couple hours then make sure all are up to date and accounted for in the UPVOTE promise.
My philosophy is that I don't usually upvote my own comments, being an ex-redditor it just feels wrong. But then again if I see a thread full of irrelevant spam, I feel like it helps to upvote my comment so that OP or others can see it easier. Usually it feels better to leave it empty and then see others upvote it. :)
I have been flagging a lot of spam of late. Sadly, I still see these spammers and bots continue to operate. But I'm sure the folks at Steemit are taking notice.
I have been meaning to do more research on this, but I do believe being accurate with your upvotes (in terms of what turns out to be popular) gives you greater rewards. Rather than spamming the upvote button everywhere. Which is another reason I don't upvote myself.
Oh my, this blew up into an explosion of upvotes!
You forgot #NotTitzNTravel
You've started a great conversation on upvoting and the comments have been excellent!
On my OWN POSTS, I up vote! Like many said, if it's worth your time to write it, it should be worth your ownup vote.
On my OWN COMMENTS, I up vote maybe 25% of the time. Honestly, most of the time I think others comments are better than mine and I might up vote other comments. But if I think mine has real value, I up vote to move it toward the top of the comments.
On TAG SPAM, I think that there is probably no need for more than 5 or 6 tags at the maximum. If I see a post with a ton of tags in Slack where I get posts from people I FOLLOW USING STEEMWATCH, I just ignore it.
I thinkI will upvote this COMMENT! I predict I will give myself between 12 and 18 cents. I have almost as much SP as you @blueorgy. Let's see how good my prediction is!
Does it really makes a difference upvoting yourself? I don't think so. I don't understand why is upvote checked automatically in the first place?
Well the more SP you have it does make a huge difference. If you are a Whale or even Dolphin one single up vote can catapult you into the top trending.
Yeah, now I can see. I'm really a beginner and your upvote made more than my 2 post combined if you double them, lol! It's not much but I imagine what happens when you are a Whale.
when the comment makes more than the main post: LOVE IT.
YEAH, i upvoted myself boom!
Up Vote Up'd!
upvote yourself :)
Look Mom! I UPVOTED my own comment!
And to all of you that comment... go ahead UPVOTE yourself! & I'll UPVOTE your UPVOTE
I agree haha, gifs for the win! I always upvote my own stuff too!
Thank you for posting. QUESTION: should steemit let us steemers advertise using steem? Be sure to tell everyone you know to come vote here at: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kingtylervvs/if-steemit-ever-does-decide-to-advertise-there-is-only-1-way-it-could-work-in-my-opinion-debate
This is a democratic community decision.
Upvote the #steemengine for in house steemit poster ads!
UPVOTING MADNESS
Thank you
ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
And it made you a whole $0.17. Any idea how many posts I have to write before I get such a huge income ?
Possibly 1
and $0.17 adds up very quickly. see...
Haha. 1 if I am lucky :-p. Thanks for the upvote.
Thanks diego24
Upvote for ya
👍 Good Job
bullionstackers
upvote madness
shit but you still earn less than a dollar / post. This is so wrong, me too!
I usually downvote people for tag spamming... :)
I think you should always upvote yourself. When you are in the top 50 STEEM Power holder, it kind of a good gesture to not upvote yourself.
So your the one that gave me that flag! OUCH.
UPVOTE for your UPOVOTE ;)
This is actually my first post with #'s in it! Don't plan to use them much.
Yes it was me. :)
Just use 2-3 tags what really describe your post.
Up to you of course, but your welcome to now unflag :) I just took a very different approach to illustrating the #'s !
LOL. I like your new tags! :)
"notaboutphotography","moretagspamming","notaboutmarijuana","vote","steem","gifs","notabouthiking","steemit","tagspamming"
Of course I removed the flag! :)
Max deepness has been reached! @spiz0r thanks, I thought they were funny, might see them trending soon ;)
I would say if you have most of your voting power and you don't want to spend time looking for potential trending posts than go ahead vote for yourself. But if you have time looking for good posts, you will probably earn more voting for others.
True. I spend a good amount of time looking for great posts to comment and upvote. I seem to become more selective the more steempower I obtain, with exception to this post ;).
Also as you notice the reward for my upvote has gone down to $.16 for new votes.
mine fell from 0.03 to 0.02 a whooping 33% drop :( is it going to get back up?
sure, just wait. You can check your voting power here : https://steemd.com/@crypto-fan
Probably will go back up soon though. thanks for the vote!
It worked! (for the first time) I got curation and author reward for upvoting my own reply. You need others to vote after you though. I think
This is an interesting perspective, especially since I'm sure we'd all like to be whales here.
UPVOTE for you UPVOTE. Exactly, who wouldn't want to be a whale. They swim around in the ocean and eat fish all day, sounds nice to me.
I think so too. We can keep this up all day. What about dolphins good sir?
cheers to that
Hey Blue
Thank You- by upvote others , I get paid multiple times and is still paying in Steem Dollars
I suggest other to UPVOTE more... This posts will continuing for many days to come
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Upvote, why not?
PS
Whoops, I forgot to upvote myself
Second round upvote for everyone
UP!
I finally stumbled on real, complete and interesting article! Good job!That's what I personaly would like to read
but I think all steem user do upvote for themself
When it is possible - lol. It would be quick fixed.... I was trying it if it count & it works what is questionable from steemit side but not from the user in my opinion. I also have not got what it should bring anyway they allow it.
What I find even much worse that the more people are coming "tag-spamming" will get a problem. You can clearly see that in most of top10 topics the same introduction posts for example are inside... I wrote today about it:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@hastla/topic-hijacking-or-tag-spamming-it-is-a-pain-steemit-need-an-update
When get in detail the market cap is way too high in my opinion what steemit as only app is offering... it is working of course but this will get a quick issue when quality control fail because of only spam in each topic category.
Besides this post, which is minimal compared to most "tag-spamming" I've seen (pretty lame tactics). I've been trying to branch out into new topics and with less competition and a solid post you can see great results. So branch out people!
But in less "mainstream" topics this posts dominate because the upvotes they get in the introduction topic for example.... thats the pain here.
Just looked... in Top 12 stories of topic "marijuana" are 5 with unrelated content. That is pure spam and if that will not stop soon steemit will get in trouble. The market cap is a joke for their poor software.
Spam is a very serious issue everywhere... I hope here it will be filtered someway...
lol sneaky invading those topics. Smart idea though. Might use it ;)
Well the point was really not to spam but if you can get it to be relevant then go for it.
I do think that dolphins and whales should upvote their own post. It shows that you have invested in the platform whether financially or through creating great content and in turn investing your earnings into the platform. Those with the most invested stand the most to lose if the platform were to crumble, and in general dolphins and whales tend to post some of the most helpful and interesting content. They also have the ability to dictate a lot of what type of content steemit should be about. I say continue full steem upvote ahead!
How did the comments gain more money than the original post? That may be the first time I've seen this
So I wasn't the only one confused when I did my first post and it already had my upvote haha
I don't like to Upvote my post to be honest it feels as same as liking my own status on Facebook which is not a good idea.
Small things add up! Def upvote your posts!!
Btw good job, Blue! I see you got the hang of posting here. Maybe you'll be our the next dolphin or whale. wink wink ;P
Wut? I'm upvoting and leaving this post slowly
I love this post and comments section so hard. Just my .01, I'm not here for the money. Don't get me wrong, I won't turn it away because that's obvs someone showing support and love, but I'm here for the personal investment in the platform and the idea.
Days before I joined Steemit my finger was hovering over the delete account button on fb. I backed up my profile in case I later changed my mind. I haven't had the app for more than a year, and only didn't delete so I could lurk and read articles. I'm not trying to be noble or anything, just saying that I really hated Facebook at the end, I've never posted on Reddit, maybe twice on Twitter. Now I'm on social media everyday. Sure the money is incentivizing as hell, but what's being built here is going to change things the same way Bitcoin did, just a LOT faster.
Dress crypto economics with an upvote and reply button and watch the dream spread like wildfire.
Ugh that makes me want to go power up my steempower so I have more steempower to power up my steempower
Up vote, it might be the only vote you get!!!
Thanks blueorgy for the post and thank you so much to the voters who are responsible for the amount of money next to my comment. Im new to steemeit and am blown away with how a comment generates so many dollars . Could anyone tell me how i made more money than the post though , i didnt think that was possible . Nearly had a heart attack when i logged back on , WOW !
You caught a whale ;) @dantheman - He must have appreciated your comment & skipped up voting my up vote post haha :) such is life.
I watched some early how-to documents on steemit last week where people were recommending upvoting your posts and replies.
So I did that for awhile, but I talk a lot.
Then I realized our votes have limited power. Each time you vote your voting power is decreases a little bit and this regenerates over time until you are back at 100% voting power.
So if you vote a lot on your own stuff you limit the impact you can have on voting for other content.
In my case my handle is @dwinblood. If I go to http://steemd.com/@dwinblood it shows you in that area to the left what your current voting power is.
I've seen mine as low as 25% before. I have therefore been trying really hard to slow down my voting, and when it comes to myself I vote on a reply I may make if it seems like is buried and might not be seen. I like to dialog and discuss with people, so when I reply I generally am hoping for a reply, even if I don't get a vote.
However, it is really important to know about that voting power and how voting too often heavily dilutes your voting power.
I'm at 83% not too bad
Wow. I haven't been able to get back up that high for awhile. I think I'd have to stop using steemit.com for a day or two to get there. Or maybe just not vote for a day or two.
No, it is not lost at all, because all versions of a post are stored forever on the blockchain.
I've digged out the original version for you: https://steemit.com/steemit/@blueorgy/i-was-hacked-i-recovered-my-account-quickly-thank-god-what-should-i-do-next#@scrawl/re-blueorgy-i-was-hacked-i-recovered-my-account-quickly-thank-god-what-should-i-do-next-20160721t185907934z
Ill be honest I upvote my content when I want it to be seen, sure im really only bringing it to a penny but it definitely gets much more attention than someone whos just starting out.
great thinking. i do that too. but if ppl don't sort for "trending" dunno if it works.
Is this how it feels when you're bombarded with up-votes??!!
The real long term problem that needs to be solved is Whales or power users controlling content.
Whats good about a lot of the whales is that they DONT UPVOTE themselves. Can't imagine how hard that may be sometimes , when it means you lose out in $1k
There are many things to consider for sure!
As a whole most of us (new users) will be going through various learning curves, so we can use all the advice we can get!
thanks for helping in this area :-)
24 hours to vote on a post is the main issue I have with Steemit. I think it should be a minimum of a a week. Just think of all of the thumbs up or whatever up you have done when something that has been around for quite sometime outside of the Steem World.
Understood nothing. But cool! )))
It's kind of like when people like their own comments on Facebook LOL. I read somewhere on another post here on steemit that people should upvote themselves, but I struggle with it too! To do or not to do? I'm a newbie so I would love to know :)
Nice man awesome gif!
I attempted a funny post to help newbies not be intimidated by whales :D
Check it out and let me know what you think and ill be in the Steemit chat later ;D
https://steemit.com/money/@stealthtrader/when-your-not-a-whale
I upvote myself because nobody else does. Point in case https://steemit.com/music/@jaysanz/an-open-forum-can-steemit-can-save-indie-music
What if many people made a group and started upvoting each other posts? A gang upvote, will it work? :P
ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
This really sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Just keep your password safe and make sure the steemit account is the only place you're using it. I've grown to be worried about all the 'apps' that appear dedicated to steemit.
Could some of them have key-loggers or could some people use the same pw to auth there too?
That's a major exploit.
make sure everyone participates in the first steemit lottery
