There's a curious new trend on Steem, which I [ranted about last week](https://steemit.com/rant/@liberosist/why-i-won-t-vote-for-you-if-you-offer-me-something-in-return). Right after making a post, authors are rushing to buy votes, trade votes, etc. I won't vote on your post if I see you've bought votes. I will be less inclined to vote on your post if you have upvoted it yourself to a significant amount. (Clarification - significant amount would be $5 or so. Don't worry about the self-upvote, it's completely fine.) It's not just me, plenty of others have chimed in [why they won't vote](https://steemit.com/curation-rewards/@felixxx/a-little-advice-when-you-use-randowhale) on randowhale voted posts etc. Even a [comment voting bot won't vote](https://steemit.com/voting/@gentlebot/pro-tip-if-you-up-vote-your-own-comment-i-won-t-vote-for-you) if you self-upvote. [Curie's](https://steemit.com/curation/@curie/curie-weekly-update-26th-june-to-2nd-july-2017) latest guidelines state posts must have a max payout under $2, so your post will automatically be disqualified. So, in short, be patient. Give the community a chance to discover your post and vote on it. You'll stand to gain much more. Heck, you might even get a whale vote or a Curie vote worth hundreds of dollars. You have nothing to lose - you can buy those votes or self-upvote if you must later. Though I'd suggest, if you really value your work and see Steem as a long-term platform for publishing your content, how about skip those and build an audience the respectful way? Reputation matters.

How do you feel about those of us whose self-upvote is worth all of a couple cents? I've started only upvoting myself when I see one of my posts isn't getting much traction after a few hours or a day or two. I kind of view upvoting as a show of love, and if nobody loves you then self love is the next best thing. Haha.

No problem there, like I mentioned, "significant amount". Self-upvoting's the default behaviour, after all. But even so, it'd be beneficial to upvote your post later - curators are incentivized to find a post with low payouts. Just don't go spamming and self-upvoting :)

That is so true. I realised it yesterday, after doing the math, that most experienced users will not vote as their curration rewards will be lower. I've that there appeared also @gentlebot who encourages not to vote for yourself. Upvote and resteemed

I get where you're at @liberosist, however a couple of points to consider. 1. Someone else other than the author, may have given a randowhale vote. I have given several randowhale votes to authors I feel have been missed. 2. A post that qualifies for Curie, will have an author whose vote is worth a couple of cents at best. Why should you punish someone for giving themselves such a tiny vote? Thanks, I'm interested to hear your answers. *[Cg](https://steemit.com/@cryptogee)*

> Someone else other than the author, may have given a randowhale vote. I have given several randowhale votes to authors I feel have been missed. Fair point! I would give it the benefit of doubt if the vote is bought by someone else, though it'd still disincentivize curators. The lower the pending payout, the more the curation rewards. > A post that qualifies for Curie, will have an author whose vote is worth a couple of cents at best. Why should you punish someone for giving themselves such a tiny vote? Like I mentioned above, that's no issue at all. That applies only for "significant amount". To quantify that, I'll only hesitate to vote on a self-upvoted post if its $5 or something. I might still vote it given how much I like the post. For Curie, the guideline is $2 but again, reviewers might make an exception if the post is exceptional.

very optimistic thoughts you have and the way you share these great words with us its vgood and motivating us alot to depend on the steemit community rather than buying votes , i dnt believe on buying votes either its on randowhale or through other ways, let the community decide to vote or not and buying votes itself shows that we have not a good quality content because we do not depend and think that community will vote it thats why we buy votes so it should stop and sholud focus on making community rather than making short cuts

I myself used randowhale in the beginning when I started on Steemit, I was new to this whole thing and then I stopped using it. This was not how I wanted to get my upvotes! Also I stopped upvoting my own posts yesterday, we had a similiar conversation about upvoting your own posts and comments... some are doing it on purpose some don't (upvoting own post ). When you are new to posting on steemit, you maybe don't even notice it in the corner down below your post, it is ticked from the beginning and I didn't even notice it for long...Great post! :)

You kinda buy upvotes... I think it's 2$ for a certain % of upvote... it can go from 1% to 50% I think.. No problem, you definitely have to check out more about steemit, there is so much I still don't know how it works... I keep on reading explanations on Steemit! There is always room for improvement :)

I remember, early on, I stumbled upon a pretty good post by you. I didn't vote for it because it had a randowhale vote. A few days later, I found another post, and this time no randowhale vote. I gave it a full vote and a resteem, and it probably made you more than $50. I'm not so fussed about the self-upvote, especially for newbies it's not an issue at all.

Wow, that's a really big vote :D didn't know your votes were that high :D I am following you for quite a while now... Yeah I can see that, the problem we were talking about were the people who upvote their comments, like very single comment....

Until only just recently, I realised I could get more value by giving another post a 100% upvote instead of my own. I have previously used randowhale, and tried to use the booster account in the past, but these do nothing other than a roll of the dice, send some sbd someone else's way in exchange for a vote. I will now go and give authors I like a manual 100% upvote, and leave my own post un-upvoted until my followers have gotten a chance to get in (my prior activity reflects a time when I had no idea what I was doing) - I've only been active on steemit for just over 2 months and am still very much learning the ropes. Better to give, than to recieve. Giving an upvote feels much nicer than giving yourself one. It feels dirty, after the initial "What do you mean, I can give myself money?" wears off. That phase took me about a week. Now that I have more SP, I feel more responsible.

That's the best way to do it! Kudos. It's not like you're being altruistic either. It's simply the best way to build an audience long term. So, yeah, you might lose out a few cents right now, but you'll gain hundreds of followers by voting for them. They'll grow with you, vote for you, and over years it'll amount to thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why would you lose that for a few cents? I get it, people are extremely myopic and want to get rich quick, and ultimately end up poor. You don't have to be.

I didn't know you can buy vote, I recently started and discovered facebook steemit groups , to be honest I was really sick of people doing voteforvote or begging for vote. of course I want votes as well and since I spend so much time creating great good contents, I am not really keen on thoses voteforvote and hopefully in near future, I will have royal readers who will always come back to check my profile out. because it's a bit hard when you are new, to even have a few readers. but I will say.. be patient . Good things take time :)

I didnt realise self upvoting a post was frowned upon. I think it automatically does it whenever I post. I'll have to have a look at my setting....

Don't worry about it. There's no problem with self-voting. However, if you vote later rather than at the time the post is created, you'll encourage curators to vote for you more. Also, if your vote is not worth more than a few cents, don't bother about it either way.

Thanks this is really good to know. I just took your advice. Yesterday i posted a song I made about Steemit, and up until an hour ago it had $1 in upvotes. After reading your post I took off my upvote and it's already at $80! Thanks for the great post :)

I just realized this fact about buying vote. I will consider to stop buying vote on my future post. But I just doubt whether self-voting may not that guilty, by mean of supporting something written by myself. Just personal opinion.

No problem with self-upvoting :) I added a clarification.

Interesting article. I have only been 'tempted' by the randowhale once. I would rather the community takes a look at my posts and determines whether they are worth an upvote or not. I also only recently, realised that I could turn off the automatic self upvote. Even though my vote is only a few cents, I do like to see whether the community finds my worth worthwhile! Thanks for the post.

I really respect what you are doing for the platform so please dont misunderstand me when I say this, would these service's not do more to create value than to take it away since they give those with steem power other avenues of marketing their reputation, it's in a sense no different from delegation? or am I missing something?

Sure, but I come to Steem to consume good content, and that's where my motivations lie. Others can feel free to do as they please. Although I would argue a meritocratic environment will attract better content and ultimately create much more value. Given this is a blogging platform primarily :)

@liberosist, I had never used randowhale for my first 11 out of my total 12 posts. Then I saw everyone is doing that. Not only minnows but very successful bloggers whose blogs are trending too were using randowhale. I felt that should be quite alright to use randowhale services and I did it for the first time in my last blog. Not that it helped much. If voting bot is unethical why don't someone shut it down? Newbies don't know the rules here. We just follow the main stream. We tend to believe that that's the right way to do it. In fact the automatic self voting on the blog should be removed too. It seems funny when the blog is posted it already comes with the author's upvote. Why don't they simply remove that check box?. Why keep something that corrupts the mind?. Any way I am here since a fortnight now. Guess learnt a bit here n there and I agree with your ethics point Going forward, I will uncheck my self voting on the post and stay away from the voting bots. If my blog is any good, it will speak for themselves. But getting visibility is the single most difficult thing here. There could be 50-100 blogs posted every minute. That is more than 1 per second. So it will be like finding a needle in the haystack to get noticed. I believe as the no. of new people joining steemit increases (thousands joining daily), newbies will find it more and more challenging to find a voice of their own and a place of their own here. It's much easier to get recognized amongst say 5000 bloggers. But it takes much effort to get standout amongst say 2,50,000 bloggers. And the count is increasing by the day. But that's the fun part of it. The challenge makes it more exciting too. Let's see how things pan out to newbies like me in future 😊

Vote buying is not unethical, and there's no problem if you do it. It's simply that I will not vote for such posts, and neither will many other curators :) Don't worry about the self-upvote.

Thanks for sharing this.. I also enjoyed reading through your rant. To be honest I hadn't really considered the long term effects of using randowhale, feeling quite sheepish now!

With the advent of vote buying, the community started to sway away from its core. I dont think steemit is built to be this way. We can avoid this if the whales will start to recheck their bots and give chance to other users. There are far more powerful whales than these vote sellers, unless they are the ones who are selling votes, then we can do nothing about it.

Vote buying was always going to happen. It's a free market. All we can do is not create demand for it, and they'll go away. It's up to the community.

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I don't self up vote. Myself, like many other smaller accounts have the tab clicked on my, "Submit a Story" page. I have never felt wrong about self up voting my own content, as I feel that my content is worth value. I do not post crap, although I have rushed a few posts out in my start on Steemit, to catch some nightly rewards. After reading this post, I still don't feel up voting my posts is wrong, and I will most likely still do it, but I do agree that when I self up vote I take away from what Steemit values my post at. Even though my 100% vote is worth just over a dollar it still effects the outcome and may sway others to vote in the beginning. I am going to not self up vote my posts this week and see how it goes. The main reason I want to do this is not to give myself less but be able to give others more because I know through giving I will receive. That may be the wrong way to look at it, but in this community, it's how it seems to work. Thanks for sparking an idea👍

This is a good read. I was always thought that the randowhale was a steemit creation, as the account seems to have been given a large voting power. I guess long run if we all upvote our own content (I have been doing it and given it to anyone who comments on my posts) then this place will get pretty toxic and in turn hurt the value of Steem. I think you have changed my view on it all now...

I automatically upvote my own posts. Is that what you mean with upvoting your post?

Voting for oneself seems to be a minor issue regarding distribution of rewards. Why not remove self voting? What would be the correct percentage to vote on oneself if one was a minnow, dolphin, or whale? https://red0dust.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/image8-e1499081086476.jpg

Doesn't it automatically up vote your post when you publish it? Or does everyone use 100% steem power as rewards, instead of 50/50?

I use randowhale because I am tired of working for hours on a post and getting $1.15 and 12 views while the 500th post on fidget spinners gets $377.45 and 900 views. I think the criticism could be more properly directed.

I think an article which dissects the ethics and practices of @randowhale and @booster would be of interest. It's a bit like the difference between the drug user and the drug dealer. The law considers that the dealer is more "culpable" that the user. I'm not saying that buying votes is illegal or unethical, just drawing a parallel between supplier and user! I hasten to add that I have used both on occasion in order to boost visibility and potential payout of course. ^_^

Good read. Having written my introduction post less than a day ago I can very much relate to what you're writing. It is both interesting, and frustrating, to see all the replies that are obviously just people desperate to get some easy votes here. As I want to engage with those who read my blog (as all good bloggers should in my opinion) it becomes exhaustive when you need to distinguish between those that are sincere, and those who don't really care but want your vote. As I have written in my introduction post, I strongly believe that steemit, or a similar blockchain based platform, can have huge positive impact through incentivising more people to share quality content and educate others online. However, with the business model they are running it all depends on quality winning over noise and spam... Anyways it is great if those of us who want to have a long term presence here, and believe in the value of enabling writers of quality content to have a great platfrom (which steemit can certainly be) , can mobilize to make sure that quality wins. In Norway we have a word called ["dugnad"](https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugnad) , which refers to the community coming together once in a while to clean up and refurbish the neighbourhood to the benefit of all who lives there. Perhaps a little bit of Norwegian "dugnad"-spirit is what we need to keep steemit nice and fruitful as well? :)

Very well said. Agreed! If we value the platform and want to invest in it then we should build up reputations and following the honest way. Get votes because people genuinely think your content has value. That's what will really promote and further the value of steem as a whole. Thanks for sharing this!

I think the issue is that ever since the "experiment", curation hasn't been working well at all. It used to be fun going on an upvoting spree to see if you could front-run the curie posts and earn a decent curation award. Now there is no point. Which means that some posts get $$$ and others are languishing on a few cents.

On the other hand, there are lots of curators with good amounts of delegated SP now. So it's worthwhile frontrunning them. Besides, Curie is still going, but yes at a lower pace than before.

I always was skeptical of using the old randowhale thing. I used it on a hand full of posts, but I thought to my self *self, are we cheating the wonderful steemit system?* Glad you said something. And btw, thanks for the votes and resteems. Also, my wife @erin-michiels is blown away at your generosity. ![Screen Shot 2017-06-09 at 7.25.39 AM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfXnHBUr6V9xQ7BK3JCQQz5wiJVRJic7jNuJMkroBb5XE/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-09%20at%207.25.39%20AM.png)

I know that no matter what the platform there will always be people trying to game the system. I had never heard of buying votes but I wonder just how profitable it really is. If you spend 10SBD to get 15SBD worth of votes, is it really worth it? I agree that if you focus on putting out good content the community will begin to notice and you will be rewarded.

I have to admit, @liberorist, I fell for randowhale as well. But your post made me think...I mainly want to share my travels and my photography and I guess you have to keep patient when your posts make 0.05 and you worked on them for hours. You kinda opened my eyes, thanks for that! Wont use randowhale again.

Cheers :) I have voted for a couple of posts, which I wouldn't have had there been a randowhale vote.

I saw that, thanks a lot. Like I said, I will try to accept the slightly discouraging low payouts from now and just keep up the spirit... It is like Instagram, I never understood people who buy followers or likes (and I never did by myself), simply because those numbers are just numbers...

Thank you for this post, it was really confusing for me to read so many positive posts about randowhale and how everyone should use it so I did but now I see it wasn't worth it. Your vote train on a few of my posts is way more valuable than paying for votes plus it gave me more exposure so that I get long term followers which is what I really want and is more important to me than the money. I can't lie, the money is nice and I was very happy to see your trail upvote me. It gave me hope in the platform that is better than the thrill of a gamble. Thank you again!

A lot of people are buying upvotes atm. And more so during these down times. It is not a totally useless strategy, but should it be done right now when the SP is so low and the reward pools are so drained? There is a huge discussion on this thread. Come and give your point of view :) https://steemit.com/steemit/@yoda1917/randowhale-booster-worldclassplayer-users-just-halt-for-a-moment
