Lately, I've started to notice that the dolphins upvote their own comments (whales have not been seen for this). And it happens all the time. I often see good comment below post with 1-2 cents and comment from dolphin looks like: "Good job" with 0.5-1.5 bucks. And it is not because a lot of people upvote, but because he put upvote himself. In fact, I do not understand why, in general, there is a function like upvoting your own comment. It is only the temptation to earn easy money. In my opinion, this function does not correspond to the ideology of Steemit. In a typical social platform, it would mean nothing, but in our - it is destructive. As the distribution of wealth slows down or stops completely, it loops on this man.
I'll be pleased to read your thughts about that. Please tell me that I'm wrong.
