RE: Self-votes and Self-Service vs. Spreading the Love - Analyzing Vote Diversity in Steem
Well i think the only way to solve this is to delete the possibility to self-vote, I don't see why this should be possible anyway. Rewarding yourself seems a bit selfish.
Thanks for your comment! Selfish, absolutely, but I don't think denying self-votes would solve the problem. It would stop new users who's vote is almost worth nothing to add that little bit to their own posts - that doesn't make a difference. Create 1000 accounts with steemit delegations and let them vote for you, that may be profitable, without a single self-vote. For everybody with own SP, it's easy to create another account, move the SP there and vote from that account - which is what partly happens.
True and this is very hard to track, maybe there will be a way to link the delegation and the upvotes from the other accounts. If they match, maybe flagging will be a solution. But then agian, Steemit remains a decentralized platform, so technically there are few rules, but it is a shame some people only act out of self interest.
