"Get paid for good content" is not the same as "Pay yourself for good content". The tag line implies that it is by garnering the interest of others that you get paid, just like how it works literally everywhere.
You're also forgetting that minnow accounts are used in farming scams, and new accounts are being created every hour to scam. So it doesn't make any sense to only look at accounts that are at least a year old.
Again, all anyone has to do is not self vote their account all the time, very frequently. Simple. Do you realize how few accounts we actually flag? Compared with the entire ecosystem it's a fraction of a fraction. It's clear that this is just personal for you rather than looking out for any minnows.
It's not personal i have lost more Steem (using bid-bots) than i have earned here! and my self vote percentage is 5%. I'm currently considering to leave or fight because of the new law bots and the dust cap rule.
It is very tough to attract people to vote for you (unless you like brown nosing and circle jerking ~ i don't like doing that, i assume many people have the same view).
I want Steemit to thrive and create a new way for people to earn a living, looking at most of my followers i guess they have a real world income of less than 10 dollars a day, many are on less than $2 a day.
If you and the other developers stopped making it harder to earn Steem (and focused on making it easier), people would be joining Steemit by the Millions, the word will spread so fast you cannot possibly imagine.
I personally cannot recommend Steemit to anyone at the moment because it is so hard to make a few pennies (even with good content).
Self voting and creating less than $1 a day is not hurting Steemit, these are the people that will tell there friends on how to create a little cheeky cash. Billions of low income earners could benefit. ~ $1-2 a day to them is a decent wage, or good supplement.
To be safe on here because of your bot you now need to get a self vote percentage i'm guessing to below 90%...
....In time if your bot is successful that percentage will be lower, perhaps 5% ~ this means that you would have won and Steemit has died, because most new Steemians left & no new people arrived.
I hope i'm wrong & everyone magically starts voting for others and everyone is satisfied, but you must admit it's a bit of a gamble to attack new users into changing there habits?

You can only get to the top of the list by using a bot to vote ever couple of hours like clockwork, or by actually behaving like that very same bot. It's not the typical voting pattern of even a very motivated poverty level Steemian. You're arguing for no one here.

Your bot attacked my friend who only has a mobile and is not computer literate.
What happens in the future when your bot percentage reduces, because you have attacked and got rid of all the bad steemians and you start moving onto other lower percentage steemians?

We're not trying to get rid of anyone, and we do not attack people. Down voting is not violence. You are being very childish.
It would be interesting to see what happens if the bot has an effect on people's behavior who are highly self voting now. Of course if there's no need for the bot we will shut it down and hopefully that day comes.
