Some prizes, a short summary of events, and a bit bullshit talk following that poorly titled post the other day.

All you needed was a pie chart and a few lines of text and some SBI shares were likely heading your way. It was interesting to see that of the pies presented, no-one was self-voting more than .6% over 14 days. Were others afraid to share their pies? Now you making me feel bad :P
You gotta take care of yourself before you can take care of others -
I agree. Even if it doesn't show in my voting patterns.
and
have both written posts recently relating to review of voting behavior, and could be trying a new approach. Good luck :)
Thank you for sending out a load of SBI's to many of the commentators on the post!
PoS / Self-vote / Entitlement
If you agree with
You are entitled each day to your own vote multiplied by 10
And you were earning far less than that each day, would you self-vote more? I'm pretty sure I would.
Post padding random advice
There are many in the same boat regarding the where to place votes conundrum, along with how much weight to apply to a comment (as usually they have only 1 vote) to give it value on payout day. Most accounts cannot give a non-dust vote (1 million + accounts) - sad times at present. I'm not sure what I would do in your situation, maybe try to up-vote the best 2/3 with a 3 cent vote (2.5 is I think above dust)? I try to reward all my commentators with 3 cents, but that's a 10% vote at present and can be a drain on my VP.
The way things are now, with less and less SP being freely distributed to 'normal' blogs (e.g. not utopian, not dtube), I can certainly see why stakeholders choose to self vote. I think your brothers vote is sometimes the highest vote on his own posts, and well, if that's the case it seems overly selfless not to prove your stake with a self-vote.
For lower SP users, the 2/3 cents you can issue to self are a bit different in my mind. Yes they will add up over time, but I think a well placed vote, perhaps on a high-staked users comment along with a decent reply, could have more of a impact - If they were interested in the text, visited your work and stuck a $1 vote down, I would call that a much better result than the self-vote.

Thanks for playing!
Have a nice day all
