RE: Why are we able to vote for ourselves on Steemit??

in #steemit8 years ago

Good point and I can this happening by reading the comments on such posts. Cooperative voting in the absence of selfvoting would exist but I think it would act as a barrier, to an extent, by either removing or reducing the impact of selfvoting.

Sort:  

In doing so you eliminate the legitimate uses of self voting. Such as defending from abusive flags, or to bring attention to an issue with a post (I frequently use it to highly identity theft).

Cheers for clarifying that. I wasn't sure what the benefits were but I see where you're coming from.
