yes but current high users who benefit from these actions wouldn't support themselves losing out in the short term.

On plagiarized content until outside laws are developed for incentivesed platforms mainly crypo based,high users who run spam bots and users who post YouTube videos will continue unchecked.

Its funny because their actions are similar to what happened with the global finical crisis with those with more wealth being granted funds at the expense of the everybody else and the economy as a whole.

devaluing their own investment by centralizing income gains and not supporting new users that regularly produce high quality content.

The content creators are what give value to steem not the ability to vote.

I doubt they will ever change the system to stop this as those users who do like this think the gains they receive shouldn't be effected as they are invested so much and believe the votes they give themselves and each other are profits from investment even though the bring down the overall value by doing so.

I believe the self-voting is a means to give investors some profit from their investment.
