RE: Self Upvoting by the Top 100 Authors on Steem?
This is the biggest evidence in support of removing self voting.
Self-voting is really only useful for whales, and with due respect, they already earn enough as it is. And whales who earn large amounts of money just by self-voting are straight up scammers who should be thrown out
Self-voting is basically useless for minnows(and even dolphins, to a certain extent). So if self-voting is removed, minnows aren't going to notice a drop in their (already insignificant) earnings. I've tried self-voting my recent posts, and basically, it makes no difference. The only reason anyone ever sees my posts is because of the votes that MSP gives me.
The top 2 guys are just straight up scammers, and I don't even know why their accounts still exist. If people with 70+ rep are doing this, why would the smaller guys stop? this kind of shit won't stop unless Steemit Inc does something about it.
