It is good to hear your opinion on these matters. Nobody likes investing in something and then having it change on you. I am pretty sure that we could, with proper governance procedures, make changes to distribution etc. It would be a large procedure (and one I don't think is necessary).
I don't self vote (unless I am voting in my sleep... sigh, not sure if I can even remove it... I have tried before removing votes with mixed results.)
Rhe hive.vote app allows you to disable self voting. So if one of your curators votes on your post there will be no self vote.
Good to know, I will make that change now.
