Of course I won't laugh.
Self voting, in this context, means the fact that people who work for STEEM Guild can upvote their own posts with certain whale accounts, not just their own.
That means that they are guaranteed to make good money on their posts automatically.
That's a source of gripe with some other community members, and I fear that will become a bigger problem that can drive people away from Steemit.
thanks @schattenjaeger - makes sense so i understood correct and do not need to worry on my voting - agree it can drive people away hence we need to drive people here currently or after the re brand
