Haha! Aren't they the questions of the century. It's hard because each community is a little different and people will vote differently based on your actions.

There's no clear cut answer to them really. Self voting on the small end probably not too much of a big deal but people whose upvotes are worth quite abit could just spend their days upvoting their own content. This then just becomes a circle of printing yourself free cash and not utilising the block chain as it's supposed to be.

I'm glad you were able to find a community that you enjoy and like. PoB is really good. I am BUIDL here and it's been good.

Hivewatchers is like an initiation to Hive almost I think. People join and go hard out because no one says anything and we have the RC to do it. Next minute someone's got you on a list for spam.

Is it bad? Well. We have Resource Credits so surely we can post until our hearts content. But I've been on the receiving end of it too and have pulled back on the amount I post.

Hive is just an ever growing journey, learning new things and making new friends.
