If we are born to stand out, then we will try different things to stand out including things I may not like and things you may disagree with. I believe in freewill and and that the better ideas and posts will rise and that the rewards cannot be raped. People who support communism may also say that the reward pools can be raped. I believe in free markets, and that we all have to fight for the rewards pool. I do not believe in sharing the pool. I believe in fierce competition. I do not upvote myself, currently, but I don't care if people do it as that is their choice. I do not want to tell people what they can or cannot do. Let the markets decide. In time, the better ways survive. Upvoting one self is like smoking. I do not smoke but I do not tell people not to smoke. It is up to each person to smoke or not to smoke. And it is better to not smoke. But freewill is even better than forcing people to do this or to do that. #FreeTommy
