Should it just be about profits? Seems buying votes is profitable too. Let's see in 6 months.
Now, do I vote on my own comment?

For maximum profit, you should vote on your own comment.
Before, there was an incentive to look for good material and vote it.
Self-voting was not the most profitable strategy.
That's why people are still looking for 'OC' and 'good content', but sooner or later they will realize, that selvoters will have more money a year down the road and will have more to say because:
Money talks. 🙄
I'm doing okay anyway. I expect the profitability will shift when there are millions here. If the Steem price shoots up them I win anyway
As a pretty adamant non-self voters, I agree as much as I don't like it. I have seen newer accounts whizz past me but don't necessarily think it's a matter of quality or actual effort necessarily.
I think I have taken a difficult stance but I do believe there is a niche for people like me regardless being not only a non-self voters but non vote buyer.
I have a fair amount of followers compared to a lot of these newbies with higher rep so that's nice. Won't pay the bills but better than my adopting a methodology that conflicts with my ideals.
Thanks for bringing more attention to issues related to the current system and self voting. @felixxx
I hope one day something will change but not going to hold my breath. We'll see.
Voting bots are not profitable if the steem value drops a lot after a week. I realized that during the week I pumped a lot on a topic I made and steem went down from 6 to 3.
