RE: Upvote criteria - Upvote pause initiated

@davidke2079

Similarly, I practiced almost everything you preached in this posts. I am also an investor who dump in rock hard cash to buy in. Naturally, trying to maximize ROI is the first thing in my checklist. I did struggled for awhile(probably many years) to refrain myself from upvoting myself 🤣 but then in the end, when I look back into my total HP and asked myself, what's the point? Later I have participated in #ecency curator program, and beginning to discovered the beauty of "as a curator, why I shouldn't upvote myself even nobody is going to curate me?". How much my post earned, is exactly how much it deserves. It has absofuckinglutely nothing to do with another person who has 1billion HP that self upvote their post to get 1million HBD and NOT upvoting 1% of their HP towards my post. That is when I have really opened up and beginning to enjoy the journey of writing, engaging, and curating.

Additionally, I will mention that I am not going to be upvoting creators that have a KE less than 1.0,

I don't understand the part, not rewarding those who has KE below 1.0? Which means, you preferred people who withdraw their HP to Hive and subsequently took the money out of the system, then people who have been powering up(which will result in KE below 1.0)? Correct me if I'm wrong.

nor will I be voting for anyone who does not have at least 150 HP in their account, not delegated, nor majority HP delegated away.

Duly noted on the criteria and I understood I'm NOT qualified to earn your vote. I have delegated almost 80% of my hive power to communities that DO NOT have an ROI payout, neither do I post on that community everyday to earn my "entitled" upvote. And I like to play around with AI photo creator, especially the one from #ecency 🤣 so I delegate a small portion to earn me some points, so I can play with the AI photo creator on a regular basis (there goes 300 points for the picture generated in this post).

You have a good hive journey ahead. I was just very curious of your post and took the time to curate it. Keep the power up going and may the hive power be with you.

Below 1.0 KE is having more Hive powered up than rewards you have earned. If KE is higher than 1.0, say 17.0 that means they have withdrawn much more rewards and have not powered up as much as they have earned. It is like Golf, you want a low score. As I said its not so harsh that someone is disqualified from earning votes just because they have withdrawn Hive, it is just a general metric to assess whether someone has staked what they have earned or has not. Likewise, just because you delegate will not disqualify you either, it depends how you use your stake. I encourage everyone to have at least 150 HP powered up in their account so that they qualify for curator rewards when voting, and that each account should have a minimum real balance. If you delegate 100% of your HP then you might have trouble taking actions on chain, and your upvote power will be low. I appreciate your comment, did you mean to say that for a while you did not self upvote but then eventually did? I dont think there is anything wrong with it, but I will abstain this month, and perhaps self-upvote less often when I resume. I do understand other perspectives and it is an opportunity to spread more rewards farther. I noticed that I am earning more for curating than for authoring anyways, so perhaps I can continue to improve my voting and increase my rewards as a result. !PIZZA Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to reading your stories too. [Update; you have plenty of free HP for voting, no worries at all 😀]

No the other way round. I started with a lot of self upvote. Especially when I see 0 vote for days, I can't help it but to at least "masturbate" just so the post doesn't looked 0 🤣

And later date, when I became a community curator, I started to learn why do I save my upvotes for others. Instead of 100% self vote, I can blast 20% votes to 5 different person. Since I am a curator, the person whom received my vote is also getting community vote from #ecency.

So, I don't do self vote no more, at least for a couple of years now.

Thank you for taking the time to reply this. Keep the spirit strong and I highly encourage you to forget about self voting until you have 500k HP, maybe that time you should reconsider. Disregard of my handle KE20, it was referring to 1973 Toyota Corolla 🤣 my current KE is 0.5 if I'm not mistaken. I have invested more than I took out from the system. Proud AF.
