Thanks a lot tanata. I wonder what you think about the actual content though, I wouldn't bother supporting it if others don't like it.
basically I'm competing vs how much I would make if I completely lent out my voting power to a bot, which pays maybe 80c to the dollar. So while the self voting may look ugly, it's actually barely breaking even against passive income. If i lent it out full time, everyone still loses the same amount in terms of the loss to the rewards pool, just means the average vote buyer will get the money.
So basically it's a choice between traf's content or the average vote buyer's. I'm not an early cyrpto investor and steem is the bulk of my net worth. Recent personal circumstances took a turn for the worse and I don't have the luxury to be too altruistic :(
I understand you. You do not have to be too altruistic. You have done a lot for this platform. This fact gives you the right to be an altruist to yourself :) Your calculations seem to me quite logical;)
About short content. It should be interesting for the average user. It should be unique and attract the attention of new users. The content does not matter, it can be everything, except propaganda of violence or any kind of aggression.
