I propose to subtract a percentage (25% for example) from every self-vote and add it back to the reward pool. Or burn it. This way, the community benefits partly if people choose to upvote their own posts or comments.

I'm going to make a smurf and have it upote me. Then what. I'm not sure that will actually solve this.
Hey @aggroed what do you think about this. All solutions seem to be met with the proposition: "What if they just make a smurf".
So how about we create a voting power between individuals that is diminishing (and recharges).
Here's roughly how it looks.
Vote for your self.... 100%
Vote for yourself again... only 50%
BUT, if you had voted for someone else, it's the normal 98%
Same for bots... the first time they vote you, it's 100%. Second time it's greatly diminished. So you could only self vote or get bot votes efficiently once per... let's say couple days. If you continue to autovote (even with bots), you're losing a ton of efficiency and rewards.
Instead, it's much better for you to vote once for yourself per time period, and then vote for others. Ultimately the goal is that you get your rewards but you have to actually engage various users for maximum rewards, instead of just yourself or a tiny group of friends.
I really feel the platform will wither if engagement isn't incentivized. Basically what would happen to the population if masturbation really was better than sex.
I could get behind some diminishing returns that refresh. Still thinks bots outsmart it...
I like the analogy, but consider this. There are times when if you arent masturbating, you aren't getting anything at all! Masturbation isn't better than sex, but it is better than nothing... And that's why peoole are upvoting them selves more and more...
Anyway, your solution is the best I've seen so far...
