The ethics of upvoting yourself
Posted on 2/27/21 at 9:52 am

The general consensus on TD is that it’s morally bankrupt to upvote yourself.
I’ve seen two arguments made about this.
1. It’s like voting for yourself in an election
2. If you aren’t supposed to upvote yourself, why would TD allow it?
What do you think?

Now why don’t you just go outside and play hide and go upvote yourself?

We can't even get Dark Mode and you expect Circus Child to figure out how to code something like that?

If you have one upvote, it is perfectly acceptable to upvote your own post to show that the lone upvote isn’t your own.

Ethics and the internet, 2 words that do not belong in the same universe.
Ethics and TD, 2 words that elicit gut rolling laughter.

I almost never post on here?
ETA: This is my 20th thread started on here over the last 365 days. That’s one thread every 18 days. Not even close to Oweo.

Lol, the only reason I give myself an upcote is if I have one upvote. That way it is known I did not upload myself. I hate myself

I wonder who the single up voter here is.

There are also times when I will upvote and even downvote myself if it means taking my count from 13 to 14. I hate the number 13

So you upvote yourself to prove you didn't upvote yourself?

I did it once where i was stuck at 99 upvotes just to get it to 100. And then downvoted myself once where I was at either 99 or 199 downvotes. But that’s it.

I only upvote myself if someone else downvotes me. Can't let that slight go without an answer.

If I ever accidentally upvote myself, I always throw myself a downvote for good measure.

Answer that.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I've up voted AND down voted myself....
