RE: The Main Reason I (and my witness @l0k1 thereby) are Anti-Self-Voting
I disagree. Self-voting is just fine. The essential is the quality of the content. Not if a person is self voting or not.

Problem is that 'quality' is a subjective judgement, and a single self vote, or a self vote, plus a pile of trailers following it, means zero about quality, because I strongly disagree with your judgement of $1.59 value for this comment of some 13 words, which said absolutely nothing.
So I will flag it with this and my other account. Right? That's ok for me to do, isn't it?
By flagging people who buy stake to gain visibility (self vote) you are undermining the incentive to get stake. As a stake holder who would like people to power up more and not less I disapprove of your actions.
Sure, be my guest.
Buying steem to raise your visibility. Ever noticed that 'promoted' tab? That one does the opposite of a self vote.
To promote yourself, AND get paid for doing it, that's having your cake, and eating it to. It is abuse of the voting mechanism.
I'll stop using my accounts to do these flags as of now. Party is over, sorry. You can keep it up if you like. You seem to think the only reason to have steem is to silence your critics and paint some marker upon your work that tells everyone else you have a self esteem problem and a narcissistic personality disorder.
Self votes on comments are for example a very valuable tool to bump it up higher in the list to gain visibility. This is a good reason for users to get SP. I want more reasons to get SP not less.
Remember it takes a lot of SP to get any significant payouts. You don't have to hate people who self-vote. You are hurting the system if that is your main criteria for flagging.
