There are so many "self-voters" on Steemit, though. Hell, most - if not all - major stakeholders self-vote. I don't even think it's wrong, by the way. However, it can be to the detriment of the platform. The market decides, really.

I just don't see why bernie is being targetted, but not any of dozens and dozens of others who always get to get away scot-free with their "self-votes".

I guess bernie is an easy target because he's already disliked.

It's a lot riskier to go against a popular figure like an exyle.
