Great read, had me laughing my ass off @ "masturbatory nightmare". 

My take on it; theres too many brown nosers unwilling to unfollow anyone who's giving them more than 50 cents on a upvote. But i agree, show others more love and yourself less. Now that i think about it, i dont think ive ever upvoted a comment of my own. Ive only been here like 2 weeks. 

I could be wrong though.
