RE: SELF UPVOTING OF COMMENTS IS NO LONGER ALLOWED, what would be the consequences, what would be the benefits.
Hmmm. Then you'll see a whale with lots of pet minnows... is there a way around this

Yes, big accounts either delegate power to others to deal with such behavior through flagging, or they do it themselves, but short of that there is no solution. I think it's a very simple solution and it doesn't require any HF, just community initiative.
Correct, but where are the good whales to step up and put an end to this activity that will kill the whole steemit platform in the end.
Debatable. Right now there are only a few people that can be considered abusive, and there's plenty of discussion about among the veterans about this I think.
I know this has been repeated a lot, but we're in beta, and although the system has changed considerably in specific ways, overall, the platform has remained the same: police yourselves. come to consensus.
There may be only a few you consider abusive but as a very new person to steem I noticed right away the comment and upvote situation. Not just from whales, but others are doing it, learning from the big boys ya know. I have been here for less than 3 weeks and this has been a discussion in my household because my boyfriend and I (who joined the same day as me) thought this might be something we were supposed to be doing since it seemed to work. Since people were doing this to our account were we supposed to be doing that on others? I looked into it and found all this.
I am glad to know that the veterans are aware of this and discussing this
