Hello @jaynie as always an excellent post, in truth none (I include myself) is not 100% sincere with the votes, it's not bad that you vote yourself, as you say you should also think about you, but it bothers me to see a large account that makes 3 publications a day and vote the same in each 100%, let lose the rest of the vp, the 20% recharge each day at least spend the rest in helping and you have 30 comments from your followers and some interested, but it is not even able to collaborate with 1% with them (I understand that they can not help everything, but with supporting those who most need it is sufficient), a lot of the whales must learn to support people with talent and creativity, that's what to grow eteemit and therefore their accounts, they must understand that whales need small fish, it is the same relationship as in nature if in the masr there are only whales, they are kings of the but without fish or planton, they do not have what to eat and starve, let's get to the same point In steemit, the boraz appetite of the great whales can be the destruction of steemit as a self-sustaining platform.
