RE: This Quote from the Steem Whitepaper is Very Relevant to the Self-Voting Debate
I don't give the argument of "they're shareholders so therefore they can do as they wish" any weight. I should, as it has its fair point, but I don't.
But that doesn't matter very much because I still reach relatively the same conclusion on self-voting; and that is that everyone has absolute freedom of choice and responsibility. I can't personally advocate putting a rule on self-voting because that would mean it's fair to put in more arbitrary rules. And one of my favorite things about Steemit is the freedom and self-governance.
A rule on it would not necessarily be arbitrary. I think the lack of appetite to improve the system here is a big problem and I'm trying to understand it more. There are many many rules in Steemit and how the blockchain works because code is basically a set of rules, and literally makes what is or isn't possible.
