RE: People claim to not like bullies... until they show up with a bag of candy.
There is something wrong with selling access to a public pool and it also means that the quality of content is questionable (especially for self-voting).
70k in 55 days according to @holoz0r is quite ludicrous.
I agree. I prefer the TIP idea I proposed. If you want to give yourself a TIP then you don't actually make anything. So it is not self voting. The voting accounts though are being used for people to say "See, I don't self vote my posts"... yet then you look and see they pay to have someone else vote for their account so they can then try to virtue signal about not self voting.
There's nothing wrong with self voting. If you don't think it's worth upvoting why would you post it in the first place? I haven't been a heavy user recently, but I usually upvote comments 5% or so and full posts more heavily. I use 100% votes for vote wars and if I think something is particularly valuable.
I am voting 3% on comments at the moment because I vote on a lot of them... I've been inch worming that up to see what I can get away with. I don't vote on comments that people already voted themselves. I want to encourage conversation/discussion and in your case your vote there is significantly higher than my current 3% which is about $0.08. I up vote posts a lot higher and yeah if I notice people flagged that shouldn't be I also tend to vote those higher. Since HF19 and 10 max 100% votes per day I don't always have 100% to go around. :)
