As a perennial devil's advocate, I am forced to point out a huge flaw in your logic.
"If members of the seniority of @stellabelle and @jerrybanfield were aligning behind the No SUV banner I would do likewise."
By this logic, we should also end all progressive taxes.
Think hard about how top .1% Steemians "ending self-upvoting" is much like enacting regulation or licensing in an industry to maintain competitive advantage and keep new talent/investors out.
The top .1% being able to afford to do something is not a reason for the other 99% to do it.
"we should also end all progressive taxes."
Well....we should.
But that's another topic entirely. ;)
