in this post not long ago.@jerrybanfield discussed self-votes
A controversial topic, but it is how the system works. Like @exyle said, why shouldn't those who are vested reap the rewards. Makes sense if you have a long-term mindset.
My 100% vote is worth about 0.08, but it was only 0.06 last week. If I keep publishing content and getting a few votes, it will go up. Now, if a whale votes it will go up much quicker. That's the beauty of the design.
