Comment self-up-voting without up-voting the original post by top 100 authors on steem.

Inspired by this post by Hive account@jerrybanfield, I decided to take a few moments to write a similar post addressing my pet peeve here on steemit. I really couldn't care less if how anyone chooses to spend their voting power 99.9% of the time. Self-voting is perfectly OK with me, I upvote my own blog votes routinely myself, not that it will do much good, by the way, my 100% upvote is worth a measly $0.04 at the moment. One thing I do find annoying though, are people who upvote their own comments without taking the common courtesy of also upvoting the post they are commenting on.

I've seen posts make a mere few cents from upvotes getting a self-upvoted comment that made multiple dollars.
I think that is really bad manners on the side of the upvoter.

So inspired by Hive account@jerrybanfield's excellent post, I took the time to write a little script to figure out how well behaved the top 100 authors on steem are with respect to this annoying bit of behavior.

So here is my script. I took the top 100 accounts from steemwhales.com in terms of steem power and fed them to my script.
Here are the results. I'm only listing those accounts that misbehave like this is more than 0.5% of their upvotes:

Percentage of all upvotes	Not upvoted original post	Self-upvoted comments	Total upvotes	User
6.0858%	88	108	1446	Hive account@dang007
3.4091%	9	13	264	Hive account@bitcube
2.0846%	141	387	6764	Hive account@eeks
1.6385%	159	447	9704	Hive account@onceuponatime
1.3500%	301	750	22297	Hive account@craig-grant
1.2440%	49	110	3939	Hive account@gtg
1.2159%	41	85	3372	Hive account@transisto
1.1453%	191	918	16677	Hive account@neoxian
0.9943%	7	16	704	Hive account@arhag
0.8190%	10	12	1221	Hive account@dan
0.5851%	30	57	5127	Hive account@sean-king
0.5061%	42	113	8298	Hive account@fulltimegeek

The list is a bit longer, but I don't think adding the really small numbers to the list is adding anything to the point I am trying to get across. I think the Python API is really an interesting tool for doing an analysis like this with. Maybe I'll try to do a few of them in the future, if only to get a better feel for the API.

Oh, and just for today (22nd of August) I'll upvote ANY self-upvoted comment below (with my about 4 cents worth of voting power), that is, as long as you don't forget to upvote this parent post first 😋
