This is good stuff you are explaining here.
Most upvotes were made in effort to get a vote back.
I can see some steemians were kinda struggling to get upvote and now of all sudden they are making thousands. They are getting upvotes even after three days. This is consistency.
I consider self vote a way to stay afloat on steemit.
If you are earning good reward for whatever you post, you do not have time to selfvote.
I am completely agree, we all need to be fair and just.
We all need each other.
Keep on steemin'
