Well this has been useful. Thanks Michel.

I have been out of the loop on Steemit a while because of a 3 month long project. I used self voting in that time because my networking ability in that time is rather low.

I think I see sense in the fact that now that I can network better I can reserve more of my votes for others and increase my digital footprint on the platform, which with do a lot better for myself in the long run as well as others that I upvote of course.

Cheers.
