I hope they will change the self-upvote system, I'm quite new here but it bugged me out from the beginning. If people prefer to upvote and reward themselves instead of rewarding others, the very essence of this platform is gone. However i'm not going to defend these self upvoters but I litterly came here after watching and reading about Steemit and the term "You can vote for yourself." came up quite alot which I did not fully understand at the beginning.. But now I do! and I mean c'mon everyone wants to make money to survive.. right? I don't blame people if they drive a car simply because that car is designed to drive.. The developer's should re-consider to alter or change this function like mentioned above in your article. People already are giving idea's and solutions.. And I'm sure many people here with the right knowledge would want to help change this problem. So I hope changes will be made. And that would stimulate people to stay if they actually got rewarded for a nice comment instead of ignored by the author and selfvotes his own "hmm okay thanks" reply. But I believe in the other other 80% that are on Steemit with good intentions towards other such as creative artists or coders or who ever you might run up to right here on Steemit. If we want to be noticed we gotta work together and help each other instead of only ourselfves. And your last tag is wtf but hilarious. 😃
