Thank you so much @abh12345 for raising this numbers. Because YES In data we trust!
That's the Blockchain Technology Beauty..... Theses datas are impossible to have in our society (about our politics for example)... so I can't thank you enough to bring this kind of datas here on Steem. Maybe one day we will be able to implement this technology in our cities and countries to check our politics !
The others problems is that theses people who selfupvotes themself have probably mutliples accounts where they also votes for... :-/
If investors see that... they will probably not invest their money on Steem (except to selfvotes themself and see the short term profit :-/)
My pleasure @roxane, thanks for stopping by :)
The comments in the blog I quite mixed about the subject. Some dislike the idea and others say 'they can choose what they want to do'. I suppose it's a matter of how your conscience is when the day is done - some self-voters clearly lose no sleep over this!
Multiple accounts to self-vote are very difficult to track, I'm not sure we can ever solve this problem.
On the bright side, there are many good people using their stake responsibility, and this is what we should try to focus on as much as possible. Thanks for your comments! :)
By the way, @abh12345, have you seen the article about some changes made for the HF20 and written by @penguinpablo ? This will change this a bit in a better way :-) Fingers Crossed !!!
No i have not, thanks for the link. I'll go take a look!
