Hey buddy.
The big issue for people (like myself) who put out ~5 blogs / day, that is ~150 blogs a month and that means we vote for our own blogs upon publishing.
For the self vote stats, without this clarification, it makes some people look worse than it is especially for those who publish a lot, help others a lot and curate a lot.
I don't know how else to say it. Not everyone takes that into account.
I hope you are well @denmarkguy.
