I got your point and thanks for making me understand this. With due respect, I differ here, need a bit more clarification about "any votes"

"....and any votes go to the ph fund's wallet."

Now, talking about this "any vote", there is no "any vote" here, hardly receive "any vote" from outside the PH community, all the votes which I am receiving is from the PH community or the PH curation trail.

Again how we see the thing matters. I see by setting beneficiary I am just giving back to the community for at least bringing me the audience who "consumes" my content, curators.

Though I strongly believe this curation trail is of any worth. Nor are any bots. Hive is for real people not for curation trails and bots.

I really don't know if out of all the votes which I receive, how many have read my posts. There are very very less people who read my content out the "any votes" I am receiving.

Also, in general, from what I have seen, as per my experience, people vote and support their own communities and don't waste their votes on any other good post from others community.

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.

And these are my emotions and not at all about supporting or opposing anyone's claim here.
