Your self votes could end up being the ticket to riches. After all it is an automated choice,, at least I think it is still a setting option to self vote post, with the 50/50 split, if no one else even knows you made a post, then you get to keep all of your self vote. Assuming of course your vote is greater than a dust level vote.

If you use further automation to vote your own post at the very last possible time to up vote a post then you also do not even need to worry about being down voted on that particular post. Just think of the riches, one post, 9 grumpycat type comments on your post, and an auto script to up vote all 9 of your comments at the last possible minute, day 6 18 hours I think, and you can laugh all the way to the steemit bank.

So if your vote is worth 20 dollars, then that would give you 200 dollars. Then again I could be completely wrong about how voting works.
