A few days ago, I wrote you about why a minnow shall not vote on his own post. If you are over 500SP do it, as your post gains traction. Also I mentioned not to upvote your own comments. I see a lot of minnows doing it, especially when they post their comment. It is counterproductive as the power of your vote drains every time you do it and you don’t have enough to make traction to your post or votes for others. To gain 0.003 from it is not the time worth for the click. You can do it if you really want to use some power that stacked up, but do it in the 6th day.


@gentlebot is this lovely bot:

I stick to this and I see that @gentlebot paid a visit:

He does surprise people on the platform, only with one condition, not to have upvoted for the own comment. You can vote after this, he is cool and will not remove his vote. His just gentle.

Seeing the big success he has, his cousin decided to join SteemIt. So here we have @thing-2, the little new bot that is voting comments which have not been self upvoted. Also @thing-2 paid me a little surprise visit with a nice bonus.

So folks, just post good and quality comments and don’t upvote them. You will never know when some bot or some whale will see you.
