Reddit always has original posters upvote their own comments/posts, though that's with the mindset that upvoting means it contributes to the conversation, and if it wasn't, you wouldn't have made the comment/post. So maybe hearts imply quality posts, and you should always think your posts are of high quality. IIRC the Reddit cofounders said they originally thought it was sad to see 0 points on a comment, so they decided to always start at 1 :)

Maybe an assumption: at least you will like your own post. :-)
That's exactly it, you'll notice the heart is filled in on your own comments.
I unheart all my posts.
Index 1 vs Index 0? :)

It’s doing it to hide the truth, which is that the heart counter is unable to go to zero X-files theme starts playing.
