RE: Buy Steem, Power Up, Upvote Yourself, WIN!!!
Using my voting power to fund development for this blockchain is the exact OPPOSITE of "greed" and eventually you're going to regret your decision to prevent it.
That's what the witnesses are for. Nobody has elected you Project Manager for the steem blockchain. Instead of finding new ways of directing funds your way, perhaps you should consider educating your followers on which witnesses to vote for and why. Maybe that way we can start getting some apps made by them.
I know you don't really pay attention, but I've actually been doing far less flagging lately than ever before.
Your recent downvotes to @heimindanger is what pushed me over the edge so don't act like you haven't been flagging people willy-nilly ...
No it isn't. The role of witnesses is to sign blocks and keep the blockchain secure, control witness variables (such as price feed and now the budget for subsidized accounts), and vote on hard forks. Anything else that witnesses do, especially if expensive, undermines security by reducing the cost of getting voted out (if you spend much or all of your witness rewards to get votes and/or doing things that witnesses are "supposed" to do then there is no economic reason at all to care about getting voted out).
Development is a community responsibility. Steemit has largely taken that on by virtue of having launched the chain in a manner that gave them a dominant portion of the stake, the most funding, and the largest incentive to develop. Still it is absolutely positive if others contribute to development, not just (or even especially) witnesses.
I do think that people who want to fund development using rewards should show evidence of the value add and get widespread support, not just rely on self-voting. (And conversely, rewards being paid out without evidence of value add are fair game for downvoting, self-votes or otherwise.)
Ehhh, with all due respect,
There are only individuals (private) that have stake. There is no steemit inc. with a stake. Because if that was the case, steem would be a security.

This is incorrect. The steemit, steem, steemit1, steemit2, accounts (and probably others I'm not thinking of at the moment) are owned by Steemit Inc. Some of the ninja-mined stake also went into individual founder accounts, but not most it. Whether it is a security or not is a question for lawyers and/or courts, I guess.
I also got downvoted by berniesanders and he upvoted his insults to top comments on my posts. I can see that you downvoted him, thanks.
Anyone who's interacted with @heimindanger knows he works hard for downvotes. I have no trouble believing he deserved it.
Want to know the full story? I made a comment on @berniesanders project XXXXXXXXX content. I didn't even downvote it. I just said
nobody cares about project xxxxxxxx(link).He god mad about it, then ended up flagging all my 7 days old or less comments (many of those completely unrelated from the topic). Then I reciprocated by downvoting all his project xxxxxxxx posts and his own posts and with the trolling.
I don't work hard for downvotes, I work hard for the truth. And sadly, many people are in the way so I collect the downvotes when I speak frankly. If you cannot use your brain to understand the difference, feel free to flag me too.
Whatever
