Third: I saw you regularly vote your self with a big vote power, so it seems to me you are not a so-innocent soul for the Blurt ecosystem

nothing wrong with voting on your own posts, I assume you came here from Hive where such behavior is considered wrong. You should vote on your own posts. Higher fees won't stop ecs but can stop accounts like: @njrahman and several others
The "health" of the ecosystem - considering what happens on the platform - doesn't exist because there are too many people with great voting powers who vote themselves,
who?
The smallest fishes and the newcomers
if they don't spam then they will earn enough BLURT to pay fees
No: if the fees increase, the smallest fishes and the newcormers will spend more, and they will have a bigger harm than the big fish. If they want to spend, no problem, it is a choice, but they have to spend more: this is a fact.
The one I met on Hive and the one you are talking about are the same type of matter: personal policy, that various user wants to apply. The fact is: you receive votes by personal bots, or you vote your self, or you enter multiple voter accounts' circle: in any case of the mentioned, you are removing funds from the reward pool distribution. Personally, I don't have anything against this type of action if you don't receive reward, but it is a problem if you receive them and a big vote power is involved in this action, because, as I previously wrote, you remove tokens from the reward pool.
The percentage of self-vote is referred to the total votes. Sometimes I met your post, and sometimes I found your vote on your own posts.
The users who vote their self: on your posts, today and various ones I read in the past - sometimes - you mentioned a few of them, often involved in other practice your policy considers wrong. So, I imagine yours is a rhetorical phrase only.
To ending and closing discussion: I am not interested in argumentations, I only view the facts derived from everyone's action. I see this type of policy and see you or other ones with performing it. So, considering the function of the platform, I well-know that investing in Blurt is the way in which I will make rich the big fishes and not the common users; so, I will avoid spending value in it, if not my time only. That's it. I leave you a regard 🙂
