Neither am I. IF others upvote, they are self made choices. Yet, you blame me for receiving upvotes. Ill placed rationale. If you are jealous of the upvotes and my >23K followers, then I only have one suggestion: IMPROVE your content! I've reviewed your content and found it to be both good and original, except that the good parts are not very original and the original parts are not very good. Those are the reasons why I also downvoted your blogs...poor quality.

I will return your downvotes so long as you continue downvoting me. Therefore your threats are wrongly placed. My SP is being used to defend against such threats. My downvotes are purely self defensive, never initiated.

Why don't you go after the vote selling bots who upvote regardless of quality of content! They draw >30% of reward pool everyday! These bots upvote a one picture or five word posts! I don't use upvote bots, as you can see.

My self votes are to bring back my blogs to visibility after the bots downvote. I also self vote 6 day ones as they are often targeted by these bots. Some self votes are prophylactic when a blog I feel is urgent and needs to not have the risk of being downvoted to invisible so others can't see.

Again, the non-self voting upvotes I receive are not abuse as everyone in steemit upvote via self made decisions. My downvotes are not abuse they are purly self defensive.

Have you seen the upvotes these trolls make on their own posts? Why don't you go after them! Their self upvotes are not in self defense of downvote threats.
