Should I upvote my own comments even if it feels like cheating?
<html>
<h1>As <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@clement/if-i-invest-76keur-in-steem-power-i-will-be-able-to-pay-back-myself-with-only-800k-comments">I told two days ago</a>, you can make a lot of money by posting and upvoting your own comments.</h1>
<p><img src="http://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/azLX1eK_700b.jpg" width="600" height="395"/></p>
<p>But I'm not sure this is the better thing to do, because it feels wrong.</p>
<p>By upvoting my comment I earn 0.02$, so 0.01 SD and 0.01 SP, but it feel wrong because even if I wrote something interesting I can make money out of this..</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>What do you guys think? Should I upvote my comments? And you what do you do?</p>

If you believe it is good, upvote straight away, sometimes I upvote my stuff immediately, sometimes not.

Occasionally i don't upvote it at all... :-)

It is what it is. The motivation for posting in the first place is to maximise your revenue. Would you feel guilty about picking up a penny or two from the floor?

My approach is to auto-upvote my own blog posts (although I'd be happy not to if that was the general consensus).

I only upvote my comments if I'm making a point that I'd like to bump up the comments list.

But ultimately everyone is entitled to do what they feel. I'm sure if others in the community felt a person was abusing it, they'd downvote (or refuse to upvote) accordingly.

Yeah, but from a moral perspective it seems wrong! It's like posting something, and tell the rest of the community "now i take money".
