One, this can be an additional direct source of daily revenue for the project. By having this account upvote its own post at 100%, the Hive it earns can then be used to compound its Hive power which can also be used as development funds as well.

This will happen quite rarely, only when we want certain posts to have a bigger outreach will we be voting on our own posts which as you guessed it will go towards the development funds. Mostly we're just voting on hbd.funder comments at the moment for the curation returns and partly on posts in the community even though there's not that much to post about right now as there's not that much to do within the project.
