Hey man, here is the funny thing. Writing about you isn't completely about you. It's also about us getting the opportunity to know you. To know the person behind @intelliguy.

Some writing about yourself is fine, especially when it's a one off. Someone doing it every single day is a different story.

As for the payout part, that really is up to you. If you havent done a "me" posts then I don't see an issue. If you are not 100% comfortable with it you can always donate the liquid part of rewards to an initiative you like, i.e, minnowsupport, curie, whaleshares, etc.
