The bot is due in a few hours to analyse the previous seven days' activity and update. If @steembay was not self voting very optimally in the last seven days then it will not be on the updated list.

Otherwise I don't see a reason to make an exception. The whole point of using an algorithm is that it is fair. People have accused us (without looking) of favoring whales and so on, but the bot does not play any favorites. If we do that the project loses credibility.

I am open to discussion about it, obviously as here I am. But if @steembay is committed to self voting we are at cross-purposes unfortunately.
