hey @gmichelbkk nice write up, my steem power is below 50 so my vote value is 0.00 but I do vote for my posts because I believe if I don't do that then who will.
I think that upvoting other users' comments is much better than upvoting your own because this promotes engagement and show people that you appreciate the comment.
my habit is when I take time and write a comment then am appreciated with a vote it encouranges me to keep checking your page always to find out if there is any new post so i can leave a comment
Already followed thumbsup @gmichelback
Thank you @ireneblessing for your comment. It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot of SP, what counts is upvoting what you like, and even if it's $0, it still shows that you care.
