Do you ever downvote your own post if you think you made a really shitty post?

Is it unethical to downvote your own post like it’s unethical to upvote your own post?

There are only two kinds of people on this board: those who will up/downvote their own post, and liars.

I have downvoted my own post(s) before if (un)worthy. But it’s very rare because I’m not a shitty poster.

Either one you vote on always starts a trend.

It’s such a crazy and stressful decision to make on every post. If I am truly concerned then I simply do not participate in the voting scheme on this website.

There are so many things happening in my life and just adding this kind of stress to it might make me breakdown and have an anxiety attack.

I have to be extremely careful when deciding to upvote/downvote- you only get one shot at it each time.

Once you decide, you cannot undo your vote and that’s what makes it such a difficult decision.

I’m at the point where I would just like to cut it out of my life and not even have to stress about something like that. It’s just not worth it.

I downvote mine a lot of times. I like to downvote new threads if I am the first one to vote because the first vote can determine how the thread goes. I found a trend in first votes. Threads in which the first vote is downvoted is more likely to receive mixed votes where as first vote being upvote is likely to receive majority up votes.

always upvote your posts that have exactly one upvote, so people don't think you're upvoting your own shite.

I always upvote a post of mine that gets any upvote
because I don't want anyone thinking I upvoted my own post but if it gets one up vote then I will upvote make sure it has more than one

How do you vote for a post?

Where do you see the totals?

Can you see who votes in what manner?

Not unethical to upvote your own post if there's 1 upvote already. 1 upvote looks like you did it, so I'll upvote, to give 2. That way it looks like I at least have an alter.
