Agreed, @aggroed had made a post saying the exact same thing regarding self votes. I also think It shouldn’t be about morals or what most people consider fair. I like to think Steemit should aim for fairness in the context of a meritocracy, not in the sense of equality for all.
I do think there should be a path to success for every type of user though. As of now, the pure consumers don’t have a meaningful sway in the system, or a way to get there. That should be addressed. I’ll be posting on that shortly.
I like the way you phrase that: a "path to success" for everyone. While it might require more/less work for each type of user, that path ought to be clear enough.
Looking forward to that post!
... adding an upvote for directing me to @aggroed. I was unaware of him until now. Extremely grateful when I find solid folks to follow.
👍🏼 Yeah, he's the guy that started and runs the Minnow Support Project, and a top 20 witness. Dude is holding it down for Steem and the lil' guys, and he is being met with a lot of success. He's a model whale, IMO.
