Hey @dontabuse,
First and foremost, I'd like to express my appreciation for your interest in volunteering for anti-abuse work without any compensation. It's crucial that more people step up to prevent centralization in this aspect.
Now, let's address the issue of self-voting. You may be aware that the CODE allows self-voting. CODE = LAW. Self-voting is more related to ethics, morals, and how the community reacts to individual actions. While some might consider it bad if @acidyo was self-voting all his comments with a 100% upvote and being a circle jerk, it seems he hasn't upvoted his other posts.
Allow me to break down my perspective on this situation for better understanding. I hope you realized if Acidyo wanted $ on his post and it was the purpose, it would have been very easy for him to remove the tracks. For example, Acidyo contacts someone and asks hey pal, I want your FAT vote on my post, and BOOM! Most whales try to give others as they are investors of the platform and earn more from curations than posting rewards. They get more benefits if things are fair in the ecosystem.
Furthermore, this post appears to be related to a web2 to Hive conversion contest, where visibility is crucial. Hive power upvotes take content to trend on Hive, which aligns with our goal of promoting various marketing strategies to increase participation. Self Upvotes were already a very debatable and slippery sloppy topic and with all the context we can see and observe here, the intentions of Acidyo are in the best interest of hive.
If you analyze the rewards given to people from this contest, they exceed its potential earnings. The self-upvote debate has always been complex, and considering the context in this case, Acidyo's intentions seem aligned with the best interests of Hive.
I don't feel the need to adhere to your criteria for justifying my commitment to Hive. Why this lengthy explanation? My hope is that you channel your energy and efforts into constructive pursuits in the future. We've all made poor decisions, and I trust you'll choose your battles wisely for the greater good of Hive next time. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors!
In the end, I would also like to add a fun note:
It's a shame you've been bullying other innocent small vote values content while being a coward against the whales.
This is due to the fact that you are unable to communicate with them. Everything here is about power, and if you have more power, you can crash anyone.
All of your 250-word comments are worthless, and I've concluded that you want to rule over the ecosystem by bullying small accounts.
You are committing a major sin here, and you will soon see your cursed life and the failure of your children. Never, ever bully those who have no one but God.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that this visibility word is just making fun of each other. Everything is to earn here.

A buddy wisely once said:
"Cause it’s never a conversation. It’s always his interpretation of other people’s words is the “truth” or whatever.
And framing other people’s belief.
Like “here, let me tell you what you believe”.
It’s one thing to say what a specific group or philosophy entails.
It’s insulting to assume where people stand on different issues."
protip, don't feed the trolls.
