I think it depends who you ask really.
I am on here promoting the communities I belong to, writing and blogging, and commenting. I do my thing and steer clear of any drama. If I wanted drama I would still be on facebook.

I can appreciate everyone's views, opinions and reasoning for self voting; whether for it or against it. I have heard both sides. But again, I do my thing. I am too busy in my steemit career to get involved in it.
