I do agree it needs to be changed yet I cannot help wondering about the work arounds that people would be using such as powering up a second account... the inclusion of self votes may have been an attempt to circumvent the secondary selfvote accounts for purpose of tracking

All it takes is a second account, which I see people doing on here left and right. They get a huge whale like account and then start another account with basic posts and then use their incredible upvote power to upvote themselves. I wish I could do it. It would be easy money.
Yup I’m still trying to figure out who is in command of the random whale accounts that vote my blockchain related works, I boost and either these accounts follow boosted work or I have been noticed through that boosting... I still wonder if it’s only rewards based interest or content related.
If you whom ever you are reads this please let me in on the secret?

That would be a most interesting answer as it seems to be that only "whales" voting are one who is voting for himself and the rest seem to be bots, where the whales have likely delegated their SP to and are taking rewards more invisibly that way.
Man if I had that kind of power to play with I would not be hiding it in the slightest, I would be a proud curator!
I have tried to track down which accounts it could be based on outgoing votes but most of the users are like myself, trying to do good just somewhat unrecognized. Who ever it is has put a lot of effort into hiding themselves and it is definitely curation based but I fear it is relative to curation rewards only and not my content other then subject. Not complaining at all but it’s something that fascinates me, could very well just be a bot with specific filters.
