Comments are only worth the value given to them by those who upvote them.  Just as any "product" is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.  My upvote is only worth 2 cents.  The WHOLE point of steemit is for a community to make money off of what they post online, otherwise none of this would exist because everyone would be using facebook or twitter or some other social media site that doesn't pay. If the guy wants to upvote his own comments and the system allows it, whose to stop it? Eventually people will stop upvoting his stuff and stop commenting because they see him as being greedy, or they will keep on commenting and upvoting his stuff cus he upvotes their comments as well. I can tell you i have folllowed every person that has upvoted one of my comments in a big $ way. As the saying goes Money talks and bullshit walks.

No it's not, this is a secondary effect. 
You need to start your thinking by asking yourself why would people buy steem in the first place.

To get exposure.

Buy steem? You don't have to buy anything to take part in this platform. I've been on here since June of 2017 and I haven't spent any money out of my income from my job on here. Every single promotion of this platform I have seen has always been in the form of "get paid for posting". 
As a rather famous steemian says

Are you completely oblivious from where the money is coming from? 

Steem doesn't have a sell price out of nowhere. Someone is buying. Why are they buying would be my question to you.

Is this why you're here on this thread right now?

In reality this isn't really a situation for debate. There should be zero people who would defend a person who constantly replies "Thnx" or "Thanks" or "Thank you" and upvotes those comments to $3 - $7 every time. That's fucked up and good luck getting rich on here acting like a Carp.

I'm on this thread because the title caught my attention. I'm not defending the guy at all. The simple fact is, if the system allows him to upvote his own comments then whose going to stop him? Like I stated before, the guy will eventually lose followers because they will see him as being greedy. 

I am in no way a bottom feeding carp. I have put alot in to this community myself. Matter of fact one of the first things I did was to donate 50 STEEM (when it was valued at 1.60) that I had won the week before in a contest, to a woman who I have never met because she had medical bills. 

My statement of following those who gave me big upvotes was to simply say I have followed those who have shown their appreciation for my thoughts by giving me a big upvote.

I don't think you're really getting it! Who cares if this guy has followers or not? Even doesn't even care! I think you're beating around the bush for some reason. He upvotes his own comment everytime $3-$7. The purpose of these upvotes is not to move to the top of the comments for visibility. It is to "Make Money". This is very harmful to the platform as it takes from the reward pool and lowers the payout for all other users.

>The simple fact is, if the system allows him to upvote his own comments then whose going to stop him?

We are! We as users are to stop the abuse on our platform. This is not a situation where you phone the police or contact your MP or whatever other type of sheeple things people do. This is our platform we as stake holders are to direct it's path.

>I did was to donate 50 STEEM (when it was valued at 1.60) 

:) This was very thoughtful and generous of you.

>My statement of following those who gave me big upvotes was to simply say I have followed those who have shown their appreciation for my thoughts by giving me a big upvote.

I'm not fooled easily ;)
