You get curation rewards as well as interest rate on SP. I don't self upvote, and neither with 10x or 100x more SP, I still wouldn't self upvote, just because of moral reasons. By helping others now, you also increase the value of Steem later, because this builds a strong community.

Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.

Congratulations? I dunno, that seems silly to me, but, to each their own...

I totally understand if you don't find your content to have any value, but then why write it in the first place?

Neah, we just have different mentalities :) Don't you have more satisfaction when there are other people voting your posts instead of yourself?

And also, don't you find it more satisfying when you upvote a complete stranger, who worked a lot for a post that nobody upvoted?

On the other side, I don't judge anybody who self upvotes. This whole place is something completely amazing, because we can see how people act as communities or individuals when money are involved. And it is a case study that keeps the data immutable. I guess this should be more expensive than it really is :)

You sound very clear to me . Thanks @mejustandrew

What @berniesanders say may be rough, but it's the hard truth. The way the Steem blockchain works incentives everyone to be content producers. We Steemians can't compare ourselves to regular internet folks who binge Buzzfeed videos. We are all trying to be the youtubers and the medium bloggers of the blockchain. What incentives non-steemian content creators to go great lengths to create content elsewhere in the internet?

That's right.

And if it helps them to motivate themselves, a self-vote that big of a deal.

And to honest self voting isnt even that much of an issue when compared to the other problems the Steem blockchain is currently facing.

Not everyone. You see only a part of the ecosystem and believe that this is it. There are curators, voting bots, people looking for advertisment, and many others. Soon (hopefully) this ecosystem will grow even more with SMTs.

What other issues?

I believe @kevinwong did a few very explanatory posts about it.
