I do self-upvote after three days. That way I can give more to those who upvote before me. It is just a way of being mutually beneficial to the SteemIt community. I know that 75% of my vote goes to myself, but the other 25% can be shifted more to those who upvoted my post first.
This idea came to me because when I first started my upvotes of some posts earned very little. I want to give some newbies who upvote my post a chance to earn some curation rewards.
Have a great week!

Huh.. Didnt realise that. Great point! But this hardfork theyre going to fix that. Maybe self upvote will be disable once and for all.
Your comment inspired me to look up more information on HF20. The last thing I read on it was many months ago.

If I am reading this correctly, HF20 eliminates the advantage to the author who upvotes himself right at the time of posting (the auto-upvote).
I did not find anything that would eliminate self-upvoting entirely.
The method I use attempts to reward curators who vote on my posts within three days a greater curation reward by enlarging the total curation pie. And that curation pie is distributed more towards the early voters.
Did I miss something in HF20?
Thanks! Have a great weekend!
