First, thanks for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate your point of view. I agree never to ask for followers and I am very picky about what I resteem too. Never when people ask, lol. I don't feel like voting for my content when I put it out there is bad though, because I believe in it. Facebook is different, it isn't like liking your own post. If anything, it is like voting on a comment you post as a reply. I think it is ok to upvote your blog though. Remember that, upvoting gets it on the hot and trending lists. The upvote serves a purpose more than money, it gets it noticed. The more votes, the more popular it is on the site and featured more prominently under your keywords. That is the main reason I use Randowhale. Not for the money, because it is almost always a wash, but to help the content I believe in get noticed by more people. The more people that see it, can engage with it and I can pick up more natural followers that like my content.

I agree with what you are saying, and it is admirable for sure. I see things a little different and want to get my stuff seen by more people. Thank you so much for taking the time to give an honest reply and you picked up a new follower in the process.
