This is something I’ve been trying to get a handle of. The 30 minute rule applies here too from what I understand. (Welcome to correction)
If you upvote yourself before 30 mins, you basically take all the curation reward for yourself. Afterwards, it is the same as usual. I would assume that your upvote also goes into the pot for curation reward, so it does help others? Generally, I read that it was not frowned upon, so I’ve started doing it myself.
I've thought about this a lot. I finally came to the conclusions that you should do what you think is best for your business. You can simply think of a self vote like marketing. On the other hand, some curators shy away from posts that have been self-voted. A compromise could be to wait 30 minutes before you give yourself an upvote. Personally, I think as long as you are also spreading votes around and helping some other good authors get visible, you should not lose sleep over your choice.
Yes, it is wrong, because there are a few people here, perhaps just one with dozens upon dozens of accounts and more than 30k in SP, whom will gladly jump on the opportunity to remove a chunk of your rewards.
You will be at a position to fight him and cause him lots of damage, but the difference between you is that you paid for your 30K, whereas he paid much less for premining his over 30k, which explains why he can allow himself doing so, while for you it will be loss of value.
Another reason to why it will be wrong is because at the current prices, you will buy at bubble prices and suffer from its popping, and even more importantly, I doubt that STEEM will be worth over 0 a few years from now, because such a decentralized platform can not scale to centralized platforms dimensions, and I hope I am wrong about it.
Anyone inform me if I am.
No
Not wrong, but is It moral? That is the question.
If I buy something I should be the judge if how it’s used
So on that logic if you buy a gun and judge It must be used to kill a random person on the street thats ok? Supposing there were no law against that
Depends on the situation. If that person was baby hitler and we used false analogies, then the answer is quantum blue.
And how would you know exactly that was baby hitler without traveling in time?
It's best not to think about it, really. You end up being your own great grandfather.

Just my two cents, if you create content I think everyone should upvote their own content. Comments not so much but that's just my two cents.
