Right now whales do not even need ordinary votes when they upvote their own posts, however I recently saw a post that got a large number of votes and at the time over $800 potential but no upvote for the responding voters. So here is a dilemma if a minnow votes some whale and gets no love back they are frowned upon by others for upvoting their comment because their upvotes are not getting recognition.
Until this imbalance is sorted people should upvote their own if just to bring this issue into focus without delay. Thanks elyaque, upvoted us both.
