This is true. How would you even feel good about yourself if you voted for yourself multiple times, or if you knew that your readers had? It ruins the legitimacy of your win.
It's just like people who create alter egos just to leave themselves reviews. What's the point?? Even if you were that desperate for feedback, how could it possibly give you any satisfaction when you know it's coming from YOU? LOL Just look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I'm awesome" - much quicker and easier!
My thoughts exactly lol. I mean how do you even validate yourself that way? You know the truth, deep down, even if you pretend otherwise. I can't see why stuffing the box would make anyone feel better. You cheated a win, whoopie doo.
As for the review thing, that's another tangent but SUCH a pet peeve of mine. I mean you know it's not real praise, its just you faking it. Faking it still won't help you make it LOL. It won't help people think you're better, cause all anyone has to do is click and see for themselves. And having a high review count means nothing if you faked the reviews yourself.
Makes no sense to me at all. It's nice to get praise and compliments and all, but if you want it that bad, the best you can do is work on your craft. Cheating doesn't make you better, if anything, it makes you worse.
