I've found a touch of humor in the fact that some of the people complaining about the self-upvoting used a vote-buying bot to self-upvote their article about self -upvoting by proxy.
Love it! You get my 2 cents for that comment (100% upvote). I won't use a bot to upvote myself despite I could make more by doing so.
I'll give you my 3 cents for managing to have a sense of humor on the internet!
Thank-you! Every cent counts.
