Let's talk a little about self-voting. As I can see on the POB platform, there are also those who give upvotes on their own posts. And yeah, it's not just POB that have such users. I'm sure 90% of every platform have users doing something like that. Is it wrong to do something like that? If I think, it depends on how they use voting power on their posts. What I mean? I mean, do they give upvotes on their quality posts. Or they give upvotes on their posts that only have one image in their post without writing anything. Nah! That's what I mean about depending on them using voting power on their posts. So I want to talk a little about self-voting, whether it's wrong or not.
So what about those who upvote their quality posts?
If I think, giving upvotes on quality self-posts is not too problematic, I think. Although it won't look good when other curators see your post, because you also upvote your own post…lol… But yeah, you also need to provide curation for those who create quality content. Because if your goal is to power up/staking just to give upvotes on your own posts, it will look like farming. You only think about your own profit without caring about helping the platform.
But yeah, I also upvote my own post on POB to the value is around 1 POB. But I won't upvote my own post if I just post one picture without writing anything. And I will no longer give upvotes on my posts when the value has reached 2 POB.
What about those who upvote their posts that are not quality?
Nah! For this is not very right to do. And things like this should be get rid on the platform by downvoting their posts…lol…because it's already obvious that they are doing farming by posting one picture without writing anything, or the post is not quality. For this, maybe I don't need to write too long. Because I'm sure if you're not a cheating farmer, then you know what to do when you see farming posts. xD
And I also want to write a little here outside the topic of the discussion above. As we can see, each platform has a whale and a curator. So I want to write a little about whale and curator on a platform.
So is it wrong that whales on a platform only provide curation for their friends or family?
Nah! For this, I'm not too sure if it's wrong or not. But if I think about it, they are free to provide curation for anyone. As long as the posts they curate are of quality or not plagiarism, this is just my opinion.
Is it wrong if a curator on a platform only provides curation for their friends or family?
Nah! If I think, if the curators on a platform only provide curation for their friends or family. That's wrong if I think, although friends or family of the curator make quality posts always. Because the curator's job is to provide curation for all users who make quality posts on the platform.
Nah! That's all I can write about self-voting. Feel free to tell me about self-voting in the comments, so I can increase my understanding of self-voting. :)
