Definition of the self vote can have different meanings. I have a different meaning. And it is up to me to see which definition I choose.
This is what I like about the freedom to choose meanings, they become handy when they are convenient. PH Fund would hardly be used to vote for posts that don't set their beneficiary to 50% even if anyone isn't coerce to do it, people are conditioned to think that setting 50% will raise their chances of getting the vote.
As an author, your content might have been given the visibility and a few eyes but that's just becoming a means to an end which is having their coffers filled. Your post became a tool to be exploited. It's no different than bribing each other to support one another. It's disingenuous because anyone who isn't submitting to the beneficiary game would be better off somewhere else playing the vote lottery. The 50% beneficiary is the raffle ticket.
