The problem with self voting only comes into play when a person isn't participating in the community and they are only self voting.
There are very few motives to hold Hive, and a self vote a day should be encouraged. We have a group of people who like to make up strange rules that don't make sense and try to enforce them.
I think it's great that you are getting value out of your account after your hard work and I think it is insanity people are criticized for benefiting from doing the right things on the platform.
Congrats on your decision and also on building your account to a point you are excited about it. The more active people with a reasonable vote the better!
