RE: Why I think self voting is okay.
thing i dont understand is how relevant is effort and time spent on writing a post when its about rewards.
personally, i will always give upvote to raw content, straight outta head, with typos and unfinished thoughts.
perfectly tailed, illustrated and written articles i can find everywhere. they all lack authenticity, as they are made for views, clicks, upvotes, likes and traffic. and its obvious.
its kind of material we can find on all mainstream media news sites.
what most of the authors of steemit lacks, especially trending authors, is their own personal opinion about the subject they are working on. I mean, its impossible to spend hours on something and not having opinion. that makes it article written for clicks. And market is full of these.
Wow, that makes me feel better about how I write things! I usually can't stare so much on the monitor else my eyes hurt so I don't really proofread my posts that much... I worry that this might be the reason why people do not like or follow my posts but you have given me a different light and I will certainly do my best effort to every post as long as my ability can handle it. :)
i dont think thats the reason. theres not much people who are upvoting interesting or original posts. they do, but inside their jerking circles.
most of them struggle to make an article which will look decent enough for automated rewards they receive anyway.
