Great post you wrote here and thanks for providing some counter weight in an objective manner. I did look over that list and checked if there was anyone on there that I was following. Ofcourse there were a few, but plenty that I want to keep following. I did, however, check if there was anyone I wasn't interested in anymore, because they could make place for people I want to support more. I got tired of that though, so didn't check them all...

I don't think there's much wrong with self-voting your own posts (unless you spam posts for the sake of it). I don't even mind self-voting comments at times. Heck, even I do it sometimes. Either to get further up in the comments list, or when I'm annoyed with how unfair this platform sometimes is.

I do think self-voters need to remember to also vote for others, because otherwise, this platform won't work and the prices will just crash and burn. I think many of our high-SP members will possess enough brain power to understand this, so I'm not sure there are many of those that need the consideration you're talking about (though I won't start flagging self-voters). Now some newer members might be a different story...
