It's interesting that some of the whales are upvoting HBD stabilizer comments, which is great for keeping the HBD stable (https://peakd.com/hbd/@smooth/hbd-stabilizer-update-november-2023), but on the other side, it has some side effects...
When whales upvote the comment (for example https://peakd.com/@hbd.funder/re-upvote-this-post-to-fund-hbdstabilizer-20231114t045508z), author rewards go to the hbdstabilizer, which returns the rest of the tokens to DHF (if not needed, if I got this right)... Curation rewards go back to the whales who upvoted the post...
In some way, that seems like whales are growing their stake, while the author's rewards are "burned", which makes HIVE distribution not that great... It's a kind of "safe-upvoting" mechanism...
Please, correct me if my logic is wrong... ;)
