We came to that realization too. That's why v2 of the algorithm works on self vote return on investment instead of just the reward amount to order the most comment self voting users on a daily basis.
I'll hopefully have time to write about it very soon. Thanks for reading 🙂
Maybe a fair warning that I have a passion for conspiracy theories, but @johnsmith is the (human) name of the tenth doctor that @andyluy is frequently including into his memes and the recent popular version of @sherlockholmes is written by the same guy who writes modern Doctor Who -Steven Moffat.
I will get out my cord board and red wire, and send you a picture so you understand what I mean. :^) I like the note by andy that i can be his antagonist and still be his friend, me being the doctor that helps curing Steemit and him being the master which methods I despise, but I can't bring myself to truly hate him.
TL,DR: I am hugely in favor of criticising the actions of a person, but not his character.
