Bad idea to upvote your posts..... generally they get nailed by the "anti spam" brigade and anyone who upvoted you loses that curation income. Not saying I agree with them, at all.... just saying that upvoting you is hazardous to a person's pocketbook!

That's why voting a post shouldn't have the primary focus be on the self reward. Free speech isn't free, and the true value of an idea is highlighted when those in a system such as this support ideas even when the financial incentive is being stripped. One way to mitigate this to a smaller extent is to reblog the post, which if it's worth supporting despite heavy stake flags would qualify as being share worthy.
So all in all
A great idea to upvote these posts :)
Just like it's a bad idea to quit your job, it's a bad idea to resist Bernie's oppression of independent thought.
I submit that succumbing to extortion is the real hazard.
So the anti spam brigade is in the wrong, and you should use your votes to counter their nonsense. Hive is about more than money.
Yeah, obviously. I've worked 3 years full time for free. In fact, I've lost the $5000 I put in at the start, and I still contribute daily. It sucks to have your crumbs taken from you because you upvoted something you thought deserved it. Not only is the deserving post (and its author) harmed, but so are all those who had tried to support them. I realize Hive isn't only about money. I have a channel dedicated to that topic (money) if you're interested :)
That's the alt plan with the downvotes, to get ppl who are concerned with the curation rewards to not vote any longer.
