well i didnt expect people to get personally offended by a self upvote. But think about this: An upvote is worth something due to the fact that steem is worth something. And that is not because someone writes a blog post. It is because people invest and pay real money to buy steem/SP and that is a risk. As an investor i could therefore argue, why would anyone deserve a $ if they are not willing to take that risk and invest their own money? I believe the network need both parts, people investing and people contributing and building the network and community.
Its not a solution to blame anyone here. A solution to a more satisfying situation would be a flat upvoting system. 50upvotes instead of 10 and it has to be based on the algorythm

It's not about being offended or whatever, this list is just a datadump. The discussion about self-voting is a whole different topic.
