At 500k HP it might even be considered worse in my view because at that point it has the attention of the bigger whales, which becomes even closer to my point of, "depends" for what you use your votes. If 100% of your upvotes go to the yourself its one thing, if just sometimes or for specific causes (like for example, when you post a burn post, then it does not matter much, and just signals you want to burn rewards for your stake), but if done for too long and always for burn posts, then people will start thinking you are not interested on curating, and that signals you are just interested on ROI, which means you can potentially draw all the stake afterwards. There are a multitude of reasons this can be right or wrong. And this is why it's so complicated to explain why "in general" self-upvoting is kind of Wrong... explaining this to people that understand a bit more of this, is already complex, now imagine 90% of the rest of the chain.

So, in advance of all that thought, bigger people might dislike it even more than that and start downvoting your self-upvotes in advance of that "possibility". Some don't even care... because they are not around as much... it really depends.

But I love these discussions. And really, really happy to see this sharing of opinions.
