10A, we meet again. yes, i do it cause im use to seeing +1 upvote on reddit, and posts look sad and lonely starting off with 0 and 0 lol. cant say i ever downvoted my own post or comment tho, usually ill edit it and correct myself in that case, and not upvote it. everyone has their own way of going about it (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
Last time this happened I edited to add something like “Edit: This is a bad response. See below.” and then downvoted it. If you edit too much, the rest of the conversation won’t make sense anymore.
But agreed, posts with no upvotes look so sad and unloved!
It’s the default on reddit because you should like your own content in almost all cases.
I do it too, though I’ll then change it to a downvote if I say something which is later demonstrated to be wrong.
