It's all about the reputation you are trying to build. The first thing is to produce content that people like, after that you do your best to find your audience. If a self-vote or two helps that process along, so be it.

exactly...no one notice your content untill it has some good votes in starting days ... so its good to vote yourself to get exposer in the feed ... after you build a good reputation .. then everything works for you...

None of this is a big deal. Every so often Steemians burn off some steem by fighting and fussing over any given topic.

Agree... thousands of steems go in vain in this flagship war.... its very sad thing

Actually, an interesting fact. Rewards that are flagged are returned to the reward pool and distributed with the rest of the votes. So, it can be a benefit when the big guys go wild with their flag wars, if they cancel each other out.

haha !
Some guys are investing in steemit to raise their voting power...so that they can fight in flagging...i read that in some posts...this meant this war is good for steemit....
