I have never voted on my own posts and I don't consider doing so. Just because it doesn't feel right.
Author rewards are ment for the author. I'm happy to even get 50% of the curation votes.

Yeah that's great, I like the way you use your voting power. And yeah, I want to try not to upvote my posts. As you said, it might be better to curate other people's posts by getting a 50% split reward from the curated results on other people's posts.
