RE: This is it boys and girls
I think it would be due to this:
By the looks, those other two accounts are alts - so it is more like 100% Self-voting.
cut and past content talking about DVs:

Then:
That is a lot on content that only gets a comment from themselves.
Sure, they have the potential to allocate the pool as they choose, and all stakeholders have the potential to reallocate. I do not know if it is a friend of yours or what, but considering the @me-tarzan account has ben on the platform since mid-2016 and has taken around 200,000 Steem in rewards, I would suspect they know exactly what they are doing and exactly why they are getting downvoted.
I thought that selfvoting had to do with it. I just didn't know 'vote farm' was the technical term.
I looked at a few of the posts, most aren't even particularly interesting.
What was interesting is that he claims he didn't know why it was happening. I am also suspicious of that.
I have no idea who this person is. I was just thinking it's the best example I've come across recently as to why there is a 7day reward pending period (not sure of the technical term for this). 200k SP is a lot. Very few people have earned that much Steem and continue to deserve earning that much asides from popular community leaders, developers, whale investors and exceptional authors. However, the 10X posts a day is a little much for anyone.
