Very nice and informative post . Thank you so much for sharing this. I see your upvote on this (your own) post. Sorry to say, but this makes me sad, and I see this activity a lot on steemit.
You took away the curation awards from us upvoters (or curators). We are not going to get anything from this post. I have also tried to address this concern with one of my posts here: Should you upvote your own posts or not?
