A really useful post @calamus056. There are clearly many differing reasons and justifications given for self voting but in my opinion I would rather receive the rewards from others for having produced good content or even making a good comment than reward myself. I am not here to judge anyone and some of the justifications may be valid to some degree but I fail to see the reason that the function exists other than to purposely allow those who invest to milk the reward pool as a reward for investment or in order to fuck with everyones sense of morality and decency. If anyone can provide me with a better explanation I'd be very pleased to hear it! :)

Have a great day my friend!
