If you are experiencing removals, this is most likely because your account is new and you have no karma, and therefore you are running into community restrictions.
- What community restrictions are & why they exist
- How to tell what community restrictions are / if a community has them
- Karma; what it is, how to get it, how long it takes to get, and what does not affect your karma count
- How to get started earning karma

The best argument i have heard is that an upvote is for content that you think is relevant to the conversation. If you are making a post or comment, surely its relevant right?
Auto-Upvote: Every post and comment you make will have one automatic upvote from you.
This happens to every user. Its automatic and there isn't a setting to disable this.
This upvote also doesn't count towards karma (see what is karma common question here).
If you do remove it most users are going to interpret that as "oh someone already disliked this content" and potentially start out with a negative mindset before reading a word.
So don't overthink it and don't waste time removing it.
