oh he does deserve props, but the system is broken. I think the fact that you can upvote yourself is ridiculous. But it's also the chicken and the egg dilemma. Would they be spamming his blog if he wasn't self voting . I dont know who started first, but i can see why other posters would be upset if most of his money was coming from a self upvote. If they were doing the same but just had less power, than they are being hypocrites. But if he was taking a huge slice of the pie by self voting and they werent, then i can see their point of view as well
