This is an impressive piece you have written and basically you point out the problem there is with upvoting in understandable language. I've not done it once nor will I upvote anything I comment ever. It's not right. You as the original poster are the one giving value to my comment. And of course other readers who might agree with me. Or just find my comment funny. We should stay true to those basics and of course downvote everyone who upvotes his own spamcomments.
Cheers and steem on!
I'd upvote this comment, but I cannot, because the algorithm that recharges my VP renders my vote less and less worthwhile the more votes I cast. I only learned of this yesterday after reading the white paper, when I note my VP was around 4%.
Sorry bro!
come back later when you are at 100% :D J/K
