Self-voting user list since HF19 - PART 2 (comments)

A self-voter who usually gets many 'organic' votes for their blogs, could then be forgiven for up-voting their post on this basis too I guess? I know what you mean, I end up under-voting.

Yes, I think so. If someone is getting lots of votes for their posts otherwise, that is a degree of social proof that their posts are valuable. I still think it is preferable to lean on others than yourself, because of self-serving biases, but I'm not going to go on a tirade against the people self voting who are providing clear value.
