Do you vote for your own posts and comments? Let's talk?

This post can also be read in Portuguese



Yes, maybe for many this can be a very "controversial" topic (?), But I want to make it very clear that I am not the owner of the truth and that I will just express my opinion. Whether it is correct or not, it will be up to you to decide, but I would love to know what you think about it.








I believe that some authors lately may have noticed that I am increasing my activities in the LeoFinance community with regard to comments. Sometimes when I'm going to consume some content I come across authors who vote for their own post and at times when they vote for their own comment.

Is it wrong? That's right? Well, the money is yours but when we think of a community, I believe the goal would be that one could help the other and so more and more people could do it here on the Hive blockchain. Is it too much utopia to think about it?

The cases are different of course and this is true for both small accounts and large accounts. Of course, most of the time these "autovotes" are always very generous for their own account. At Hive I need not say that this is common to see. Many always wanting a large share of their votes and leaving almost nothing for other people.

This is not new, it has been happening since my days in Steemit, and while you try to organize, research and create a post that takes hours, you are not even noticed by the big accounts. Perhaps this is the problem for many who begin their journey through Hive. They have no space to show their work and be rewarded for it and often end up giving up on the platform.

I will not go into the merit of the price of HIVE in the market, the vast majority are here because they believe in the potential of Hive and for me he is a sleeping giant and that in the future he may finally wake up. But what about new users? They still don't have that vision for the long term.

Many arrive here imagining that they would quickly become rich and we all know that it is not so. Everything requires effort and dedication that can take many months to reach a step where you can have an active voice or influence in a community.

Don’t think I’m here getting votes, on the contrary, I would like these people who are here to reflect a little on this, there are several accounts being created from outside Hive for LeoFinance and as we know, the LEO community can serve as a bridge for anyone to start discovering the various Dapps that exist in the Hive ecosystem.

Help curate and be well rewarded for it

LeoFinance's Flat Curation proved to be very effective and prosperous on its platform, it is a great way for any account that starts from scratch if it is active and participative adding value to the community, in a few months it will be able to see good results as curation reward. Everyone can fairly benefit from this.

I still hope that Hive can have a modality similar to LEO so that we can all have our reward in a fair and balanced way, all the time dedicated here should be rewarded and LeoFinance shows us every month that LEO authors are the most rewarded in the whole blockchain Hive.

Accounts alts the solution?

Nowadays it has become common to create alts accounts, due to the ease of supporting more communities and not focusing on just one account because the VP would be so low for so much necessary use. I do not see any problem if you create an alt account to vote for your own post and/or help support the respective community.

I have an alt account myself and this is not a sin, I recently delegated my SPORTS to the @coiotes account to vote for the SportsTalk community. I'm still trying to see how I can be more participative there, but I'm currently voting manually.

What I mean is that you who usually vote for yourself, try to spread your vote a little more to other accounts. Distribute wealth and you don't have to keep everything to yourself. Other people could benefit from your gesture. Many accounts can be even more motivated to stay on the platform. All together to build a strong, united and prosperous environment.

I believe that some large accounts do not think this attitude of voting for themselves as a good thing, I myself avoid voting on some comments that I see that the person commented and voted for himself. I don't think it's ridiculous, but I think it's unnecessary.

With Initiative 10 I try to not only comment and bring a good dialogue to the community, I vote even if it is 5% to help in the engagement and motivation for people to create more comments to increase traffic. Even though I'm not very rewarded for it, but I'm doing my part.

As I have said a few times, this time is the best time to accumulate more HIVE, many projects are under development and the future will certainly be incredible for everyone who believes in its potential.




So, are you going to continue playing alone or are you going to share your toy? You have a great chance of helping people and certainly those same people will be able to help you in the future. Think about it...

Versão em português


Sim, talvez para muitos isso pode ser um tema bem "polêmico" (?), mas quero deixar bem claro que eu não sou o dono da verdade e que apenas irei expressar a minha opinião. Se é correto ou não, isso caberá a você decidir, mas gostaria muito de saber o que você pensa sobre isso.






Acredito que alguns autores ultimamente devem ter notado que eu estou aumentando minhas atividades na comunidade LeoFinance no que diz respeito aos comentários. Às vezes quando vou consumir alguns conteúdos eu me deparo com autores que votam em seu próprio post e em outras que ele vota em seu próprio comentário.

Está errado? Está certo? Bem, o dinheiro é seu mas quando pensamos em uma comunidade, acredito que o objetivo seria que um pudesse ajudar o outro e assim mais e mais pessoas poderiam fazer isso aqui no Hive blockchain. É utopia demais pensar nisso?

São diferentes os casos é claro e isso acontece tanto para contas pequenas e para contas grandes. Lógico que na maior parte das vezes esses "autovotes" são sempre bem generosos para a sua própria conta. No Hive eu não preciso dizer que isso é comum de ver. Muitos querendo sempre a grande fatia de seus votos e deixando quase nada para outras pessoas.

Isso não é de hoje, isso acontece desde os meus tempos de Steemit, e enquanto você tenta organizar, pesquisar e criar um post que isso demora até horas, você não é nem notado pelas contas grandes. Talvez esse seja o problema de muitos que iniciam sua jornada pelo Hive. Não tem espaço para mostrar seu trabalho e ser recompensado por isso e acabam por muitas vezes desistindo da plataforma.

Não vou entrar no mérito do preço do HIVE no mercado, a grande maioria está aqui por que acredita no potencial do Hive e para mim ele é um gigante adormecido e que no futuro poderá finalmente acordar. Mas e os novos usuários? Eles ainda não tem essa visão para o longo prazo.

Muitos chegam aqui imaginando que rapidamente ficariam ricos e todos sabemos que não é assim. Tudo exige esforço e dedicação que podem levam muitos meses para chegar em algum degrau que você consegue ter uma voz ativa ou alguma influência em uma comunidade.

Não pensem que estou aqui medigando votos, muito pelo contrário, gostaria de que essas pessoas que estão aqui pudessem refletir um pouco sobre isso, existem diversas contas sendo criadas vindo de fora do Hive para LeoFinance e como sabemos, a comunidade LEO pode servir como uma ponte para qualquer um começar a descobrir os diversos Dapps que existem no ecossitema Hive.

Ajude na curadoria e seja bem recompensado por isso

O Flat Curation da LeoFinance, provou ser muito eficaz e próspero em sua plataforma, é uma ótima forma para que qualquer conta que comece do zero se ela for ativa e participativa agrengando valor para a comundiade, em alguns meses ela poderá a perceber bons resultados como recompensa de curadoria. Todos de forma justa podem se beneficiar com isso.

Ainda espero que o Hive possa ter uma modalidade parecida com o LEO para que todos possamos ter nossa recompensa de forma justa e equilibrada, todo o tempo dedicado aqui deve ser recompensado e LeoFinance nos mostra todos os meses que os autores LEO são os mais recompensados em todo o Hive blockchain.

Contas alts a solução?

Hoje em dia se tornou comum criarmos contas alts, pela facilidade de apoiarmos mais comunidades e não se concentrar em apenas uma conta pois o VP ficaria tão baixo pora tanto uso necessário. Não vejo problema quem cria uma conta alt para votar em seu próprio post e/ou ajudar a apoiar a respectiva comunidade.

Eu mesmo tenho conta alt e isso não é um pecado, recentemente deleguei meus SPORTS para a conta @coiotes para votar na comundiade SportsTalk. Ainda estou tentado ver de alguma forma como poderei ser mais participativo por lá, mas no momento estou votando manualmente.

O que quero dizer é que você que costuma votar em si mesmo, procure espalhar um pouco mais de seu voto para as outras contas. Distribua riqueza e você não precisa ficar com tudo só para si. Outras pessoas poderiam se beneficiar com o seu gesto. Muitas contas podem se motivar ainda mais para continuar na plataforma. Todos juntos para construir um ambiente forte, unido e próspero.

Acredito que algumas contas grandes não achem essa atitude de votar em si como uma coisa boa, eu mesmo evito de votar em alguns comentários que eu vejo que a pessoa comentou e votou nela mesmo. Não acho ridíciculo, mas acho que isso é desnecessário.

Com a Iniciativa 10 eu tento além de comentar e trazer um bom diálogo para a comunidade, eu voto mesmo que seja 5% para ajudar no engajamento e motivação para que as pessoas criem mais comentários para aumentar o tráfego. Mesmo que eu não seja muito recompensado por isso, mas estou fazendo a minha parte.

Como eu já disse algumas vezes, essa época é a melhor para acumular mais HIVE, muitos projetos estão em desenvolvimento e o futuro certamente será incrível para todos que acreditamos no seu potencial.

Então, vai continuar brincando sozinho ou vai dividir seu brinquedo? Você tem uma grande chance de ajudar as pessoas e certamente essas mesmas pessoas poderão te ajudar no futuro. Pense nisso...

I think self voting is based on the view of the voter. Some see the platform as a way to make money. In short that true. After getting their initial investment, they continued Focusing on themselves alone. I won't be the judge of whether it's good or not but it's not what I do if I am in their shoes.

I sometimes upvote my post but 98% of my votes go to other users. I upvote other people's comments too but I never my comment.

I am a sportswriter also and I hope you check my sports page out.

I don't vote on my own content. I haven't done that for years because I think I earn decent either way. However, if my articles would simply be rewarded nothing or close to nothing, I would probably self-vote as I strongly believe that my content is worth at least what my own upvote is worth. (~0.285 LEO)

I don't judge people though, except for people shit-posting or spamming only to upvote their own content. That is a terrible behaviour that I would never endorse or recommend.

You touched on a subject that was interesting and it makes sense, you know how hard you worked to make that post and nobody rewarded you in the way that you thought was fair.

I don't judge people though, except for people shit-posting or spamming only to upvote their own content.

I also think the same way.

Yeah, I mean.. I'm not trying to say that I am a better author than anyone, because I don't consider myself to be more than a decent author, but I know that I put in a lot of time and effort in my creations, so I think it's fair to self-vote at least ~0.285 worth of LEO if I risk being without rewards for any of my contributions. Especially as I can see other articles with more pending rewards, even though they have spent only a fraction of the time and/or research on the content.

Good point.
As a new user I'm finding out how hard it is to build a network from scratch. Sometimes I spend a lot of time trying to come out with a good post and it barely gets any attention.

Still, I have decided not to upvote my own content. It may be hard when you are new but, like you said, I believe if I keep on trying my best to come with good content and helping others by using my voting power, the net effect will be beneficial to everyone.

In the beginning it is really difficult and I say this as an experience, through the second tier communities like LeoFinance, we can manage to have some active voice in the community, very different if we were only on Hive.

But that does not mean that it will always be good and wonderful. We must always improve our content so that we can be rewarded the way we would like.

Success in your LEO journey!

Honestly, I did self-voting my own posts,but didn't vote my comment never once.
Now, I just decide to do not self-voting on my post because I can do more engagement or help to others.

Thank for your opinion!

Well, everyone decides what to do with their vote, but like I said, there are healing whales that don't think that's cool. So you lose even their votes because of that.

But everyone is free to decide what to do, but you have to know that your choice can be good or bad.

Self-voting is based on Greed and Ego.
Due to the law of the world, the more you give, the more you receive.
