I have made a commitment to not self vote which a lot of people think I am crazy given that I am losing in gaining the value of my upvote which is currently at around .25 cents and all the curation rewards that comes from it.
The way that I see it those 4% that I lost out can be used to upvote more content from other people. I know the curation rewards is not that high but feels good to spread my vote.
Other people will always have their opinions on what you say. Hahaha. I've read in one of your blogs about not self-voting and there is no problem with that. That's your decision.
