That seems a little mean spirited vigilante @javrid - is that a problem, and why would you care? Seen a lot of people doing that, including founders of this platform, so what's it to you?

Yes. It is a problem and I care about it.
Rewards come from a common reward pool.
Everytime you or someone else upvote something in the Steem blockchain it is a request for the reward pool to set aside a part of that pool in a proportional way of the VESTS you own.
It is ok to upvote yourself in your posts. At least while you get little reward everytime. It is a way to ensure that you will get a little bit for your work.
But comments don't require too much work -although some of them do- so it is not ok to self-vote yourself.
That is why it is not ok for you to dry the reward pool for just a few words -I am not saying here anything about those words- while some other people who put a great effort into a post with much more that 500 posts get less STEEM just because you wanted to be rewarded for the first thing your brain thought.
Remember: Reward Pool is finite and you will get a part of it. If you get more, then other people will get, proportionally, less.
Thank you for your explanation, and good luck managing the blockchain with your vigilance
