So you decided to vote for your own post in this case ;) I stopped self-voting a while back as it didn't feel right when my vote was worth a couple of dollars. I'll let others have the benefit. I think the algorithms should make a self-vote worth less, but then people would do it indirectly using delegation or other means. I delegate to others to help them out. I think it's definitely more important to build this platform than to worry about how much I'm making. If it all works out then we'll do okay anyway.

What we do have here is freedom, so it is a choice. It's better to have less rules in general. I fully understand that some people are desperate to make anything and Steem/Steemit may make it possible for them to have a better life.
