Unfortunately the benefit is you will make a shitload of money compared to voting on others. At least 10 times more. It comes with a cost though, self-votes contribute nothing to the platform so in the end you'll only hurt yourself. Self-voting is a short-term play, it only works until it blows up and then we're all screwed, not only the self-voters.

Actually I wonder why self voting is possible. I suppose the creators of Steemit rules are very intelligent, because the system is very complicated and still works well. So I further suppose that implementing the possibilty of selfvoting was not a mistake but one more weight on the power-side of whales, it is an instrument to help the rich to increase return of invest... To make it even clearer: This amount of money pretends to be a fair part of a System rewarding good content, while instead it is a form of interest profit. If you mention these thoughts, the winners of that system will tell you to concentrate on good content... because one day in future you could make it because of the quality of your content (don`t look at what other do with "their" money) ... like I was reading in the first comment of your very interesting post https://steemit.com/steemit/@calamus056/self-voting-user-list-since-hf19-part-3-potential-comment-abuse
