Here's the thing about self upvote, due to Sybil attack an individual can just create another account and delegate or power up the account and vote up their own post that way. They have the stake and an individual is free to use their stake how they want. The more SP the more say an individual has on how the rewards get distributed. So if you don't agree with that then power up on STEEM and we have the ability to downvote those kinds of posts to re-distributed the rewards. If you don't have the stake, then not much you can really do.
Point taken, and enough ways to play the system ofcourse. Still find it very lame though and hinders me investing much in it honestly. Thanks for the article and response.
You know, I was the same way when I saw self-voting but it's a competition for the reward pool. The self-voters that have a large stake have more to lose than those that don't have much. An individual that has an investment in the token should receive more benefits than those that aren't helping with the price.
