( self upvoting comes very close to this )
Never did i call it a crime ,. just not smart in the long run .
It's your cow ,.. if you choose to profit on the meat ,. that is then your right to do so ,.. I just see more profit coming from selling only the milk and butter .
you basically suggested that "self-voting" "comes close" to "tax"
this makes zero sense
Tax and self-voting both are bad for economic growth ,.. but it could maybe be better compared with cheating on your insurance .. ;-)
ok, "self-promotion" seems untoward for individuals, but it's "business as usual" for corporations
There are better ways to promote oneself then upvoting ones own post's .
Let's say i have a some cash to invest ,.. i invest in a lemonade stand ,. stake all my cash in it to make it work . But i make terrible tasting lemonade ,. no one wants to buy it ,. there is no profit on my investment . Now i do pay myself for the hours i put in to my shop , it comes from the stake . So to save my venture i can use my pay to buy my own lemonade , because ,.. i am smart ???
I am gonna do the honorable thing now ,.. won't want to be around when all the world starts starving ,.
Ill take my honor ... .... WHALLLLHAAAALAAAAAAA!!!!
;-)
i love the part at the end of the show where these guys show up
Damn ,.. your on to my plan's ,... please don't tell ,.. ;-)
on the other hand
"high-quality-original-content" does not always automatically find its audience
self-voting works best when you have enough stake to reach the "all trending" page
it's exactly the same as paying for a billboard
