Oh I hadn't realized it was only for SteemPower above 1,000. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. If someone has put in the massive amount of time and energy that it takes to rise to the highest ranks then why shouldn't they be able to reap the rewards? But even if "we" decide it's not good to self-upvote I think it has to be built into the platform. I don't think bots are the answer. It makes me wonder: 1. Who decided not to build it into the platform? and 2. Who decided/allowed the creation of bots that remove rewards? Was this a collective decision or did someone just randomly go create a bot and unleash it?

I'm not sure why it was not built into the platform and it seems like this would be done doing a hard fork. However, I agree that if this is the direction they want to take the platform in where you want to deter people from not upvoting their own comments just build it into the platform that way you do not have to worry about it or deal with all of these bots on the platform.
