Oh, yeah i'm a content creator so i don't think anyone has any objections to that. As long as i keep creating content the net result is profit for the platform in the form of perceived value. The problem lies with people that aren't content creators and aren't otherwise contributing to the platform (whoever they may be).
It's fine, I know I"m over reacting so probably not getting my point across the best way. My point is just that you're stuck on 1 small aspect of what you think is hurting the platform...when it's not your place to make that decision for everyone. Also, your approach to solving the problem does more harm than good.
It's not a decision, it's a conclusion. SteemIt won't succeed when you make more money when you vote on yourself than when you vote on others.
I don't know if you're for example familiar with bots in MMORPG games like World of Warcraft, but once large groups of similar people learn about SteemIt, this platform is gone overnight. If people do everything to cheat in games, they will try even harder when there's money to be made.
The thing is, that they still haven't fixed this self-voting issue after a goddamn year, so then the only thing remaining is try to solve it together as users.

I have objections to you doing it.
But you're just being a dick so i'm not going to take that seriously.

I agree with the problem statement. I disagree with your approach in trying to solve it.

If you got any other suggestions, i'm all ears :)
We can use all the help in the world. Nobody wants this experiment go to shit.
