RE: Threat assessment: 45 things I worry about more than some people self-voting.
Call me crazy, but I don't even think that self-voting is necessarily a bad thing, especially if you have people who are not using up their voting power.
Then again, I'm somewhat insulated from Steem politicking, and more focused on just keeping up writing. I know a lot of people aren't fans of it, but I've yet to hear a particularly great reason why (especially since some of people who say "no self-votes" also then turn around and use bidbots, which I find a little sketchy).
It's mathematically neutral, which is part of what drives me nuts about this. Self-voters aren't hurting anyone. They take a chunk of the inflation generated by the inactives, but that's only important if you believe yourself or what you value to be entitled to more than your share of it. Which is wrong. You're entitled to your stake only, and the inactives are a nice bonus that no one's required to provide.
That's more or less how I understood it. I'm actually of the mind that you want to use up the inactive share with legitimate content (I assume that those who self vote at least consider themselves legitimate content creators) because it helps to prevent some of the nightmare bot domination scenarios that people lose their minds over from time to time (rightly or not).
Also, #34 cracks me up, as a perpetually procrastinating writer.
