You can post here and then go to somee.blog to self vote, I've seen a lot of people doing it.

And just to be clear, I'm not saying they shouldn't, or that they are wrong for doing it.

I'm asking genuinely if people think it's ethical or not.

Personally it doesn't sit right with me so I don't do it myself. But I wouldn't necessarily judge anyone else if they do it.

One point that one of the Hive members mentioned to me was "if you posted something then you believe that your post adds value to the platform... therefore you should upvote it, to incentivize that value"

That kind of makes sense. I still don't really like the idea of it though so I'm not gonna start doing it.
