I am very pleased to read these posts from users with great stakes and power like you because with great power comes great responsibility.
On Hive it's possible to self-vote but I've never liked to self-vote and in fact my self vote is 0% and also my curation accounts never vote me or themselves.
Hive, like Leofinance, are communities, ecosystems and it's better to motivate and vote for another author than to vote for oneself because this way the interaction increases.
A vote given to oneself is a vote not given to another and is a missed opportunity to get to know and interact with another person.
Again, thanks a lot @onealfa for writing this post which I reblog with great pleasure.

From reading all the comments down below, it seems to me many have not got to my point.
I am NOT against selfvoting. Nor I say it is TABU, or something really bad. NO.
The thing is - it is all about ratios used, about percentages. About the respect to other members of community
Here is the statistics for the last 7 days of our "master-selfvoter":
Voted: 379 times
Upvoted other authors: 45
Rewards distributed to himself: 655 Leo (84.16%)
Rewards distributed to all the other 45 authors: 123 Leo (15.84 %)
(84% to self, and 15% to all the other 45 !? )
I could ignore such pattern from a green newbie, from a redfish, a minnow, even the medium size stake holder.
But such a contempt and arrogance to the other community members from a whale, who holds ~300K Leo, who's one single vote brings more than 25 Leo in rewards, who got registered on steem/hive more than TWO years ago - is simply unacceptable.
And a complete IGNORE is the best I can do in return.
At least until I see the change in the curation/voting pattern.
Last seven days:
This is nothing more but contempt and arrogance.
If somebody disagrees with it - try to prove me wrong.

Sounds like that guy is trying to go full Haejin.
Maybe he is, maybe he is...
Haejin, now that’s a name I haven’t seen in a while, if I wasn’t busy I would go look at his accounts and see what’s he up to.
I’ve also haven’t seen anything from Bernie, you think he doxxed himself trying to get his steem back from bittrex? I don’t know if there was any continuation to that story.

He effectively left the chain.
Whether or not he truly left is another story. At least, his known main accounts no longer have the same power they used to.
btw what happened to Haejin ?

Random voting on Hive and shitposting on Steem I guess.
Fully agree with that they should be voting up others content and a 25% 75% split sounds good even a 50% 50% I think I'd be ok with but 85%-15% is pretty dang selfish. They I assume put in the investment and the risk and of course should be rewarded for doing so but that cut seems a little high to me to make me look at this person twice.

you are being rewarded 50% of your distributed inflation every time you click the vote button. and there are double rewards, financial for yourself and the satisfaction that you can reward others in the community. because it is a community game, community rewards you. or you can just selfvote, but then you must count that community will leave you to play with yourself.

Greediness on the highest other

I don't like to vote myself but I also don't condemn those who vote themselves especially if they are new users or if they vote more for others than themselves. I fully understand and share your point of view.
I've read all the comments on your post and the effect you've produced is very positive: many users have written that they won't vote anymore and your post shows how important the example of someone who has a lot of power or plays an important role in a community is.
When I had less than 100 HP the people who supported me the most and encouraged me to continue my beautiful adventure on Hive were all people who had a self vote of 0 or slightly higher. They were the people who commented on me even if I had a zero or almost zero vote and commented on many other small users.
Is a self vote value of 0 directly proportional to the contribution and commitment to growing a community? Not always but almost always yes.
If the biggest LP holder had been rollandthomas the leofinance community would have had a negative example and more than a few would have taken it as an example of how to behave.
Also from a purely econonymous point of view not voting for yourself and voting and supporting others is a way to look at the long term and not the short term because the more people receive support the more users Hive and Leofinance will have in the future and if these users have a positive example to follow they will love Hive and Leofinance and consequently also their tokens and consequently they will keep their tokens with the same love and the price can only go up...
I wrote this comment to thank you again and also thank you for the vote you gave me on my comment yesterday. I have earned more LEO with your vote on the comment than with my posts :)
I ask you a favour @onealfa.
Do not vote this comment because my comment is meant to be a sincere and disinterested thank you to the positive example you gave with your post and the example you are giving with your way of acting.

BEER.Hey @onealfa.leo, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @libertycrypto27 for you. Enjoy it!Learn how to earn FREE BEER each day by staking your
BEER.I dont mind is smaller, newer account do it. Hey, trying to build a stake is tough so if someone votes with .50 or even 1 LEO, that isnt the end of the world to me.
However, at a certain point, it has to go outwards especially with larger stakes.
The same goes for garbage posting. A lot of copy/paste stuff or few word posts starting to trend.

That had to be said too...

Yes, I agree, especially because those who are new to Hive have not yet understood the full potential and mechanisms of Hive and the meaning of community.
If it were only up to me I would completely eliminate self voting because, even if it is allowed and therefore not condemnable, it is contrary to the meaning of the word "community" and one of the things that differentiates Hive from other platforms is precisely its strong and large community.
I saw that you also have the self vote equal to 0 and therefore we travel on the same line of thought.
