Why should the amount received dictate whether self voting is allowed or not? I’m pro self voting but I see no reason a rise in return should sway a person’s opinion.
If the value rises to an unbelievable amount and you can’t see sense in not voting your own up maybe people who were previously self voting just had a lower amount to hit their threashold at.
Just something to consider. Good on you for announcing it though!
I believe the rewarding dynamic should be allowed to change artificially depending on the current need of Steem. Right now I believe Steem need more software development and maybe more marketing than expending money to incentivize content at the constraining rate of 1 vote every 2.4 hours and payout after 7 day. The 7 day windows doesn't allow to direct the reward efficiently at the most needed contributions and create a lot of ephemeral initiatives like softwares that end up unsupported and initiatives that fade out.
Fair enough. I guess I’d like a static set of rules regarding self voting but to each their own.
In regards to criticism for voting on your own posts you’ll find none from me. If you want your content to be seen self voting can be a useful tool. Thanks for spending SBD to improve the ecosystem though :)
There is a LUDICROUS payout right now, for articles and blogs that wouldn't possibly [in most cases] make 10% or even 2% that in the open market. I don't know nearly enough, but there's something certainly not right there.
Do you know anything about what the deal is with people being able to accept paying votes only for 7 days, and if that will change?
There is NO direct democracy of any kind in steem right? We'd have to elect witnesses, and have them act as representatives?
At what point does it make sense to spend time and contribute here, but to work on further appropriation of so many good open source ideas, and to invent on top of that until we get to an UUCC. An Ultimate Use Case Coin. [i assume that there could be, in some circles at least, "ONE COIN" to rule them all.
What's the deal with "ONE COIN"? I could google that. I'll google that. Alx.

yeah i also agree with you..
