My honest answer is probably a mix of option one and two. I mostly only upvote things because I like the way the responses are going, but sometimes I do feel like it might encourage people to respond to or check out a post that seems to be going ignored if I give it a[nother] heart. Some people don't seem to like being the one to go first!
Totally heart my own stuff. Gotta drive activity in your own small ways, especially when it's so desolate. Originally, it was set to automatically heart your own post/comment; I remember when they made it optional.
If I love the conversation generated, I'll heart the post. Most of my posts are comm posts anyway; they're not heavy on original/person content.

I've started hearting some of my stuff.... no one's biting... //sigh//
I hearted one or two things for funsies. I wont do it on the regular because I figure it might become obvious after a while.
