I do self vote my posts and I think you did a great thing modifying the situation! Curators needs to have more reward while people are voting for them so I will be pleased to "lose" my curation reward while self voting to pass it to the curators! Great job!
In regards of "Each vote that is cast will be shifted down by about 1.219 SP. This effectively establishes a “baseline” voting strength that applies to everyone, while still maintaining a linear rewards curve for votes above the baseline. This way even large Steem Power holders won’t be able to profit from casting countless inconsequential votes." it is not very clear to me how it will work... could you please explain it slightly better?
