I'm a bit conflicted with SBI myself and some other similar services such as qurator, it's kind of a grey area and reminds me of @backscratcher but am not too familiar with how they work to say anything more. Hoping there's more curation to it than what it seems but I understand some people do not like the way they run things and use their downvotes to express it.
@acidyo, you can speak with @josephsavage to answer any questions you might have. Mmkk doesn't understand it either, nor does he care. Anytime joseph and others have tried to speak with mmkk, he runs and sticks to his claims. Lots of people have come out stating what kind of person joseph is and the benefit that they've gotten from the program. mmkk has virtually no one on his side and still continues his solo crusade.
Also, because I've been following mmkk DV trail for the last 2 weeks, I can say that he isn't flagging abuser, scammers, and plagiarises because the @sbi team seems to have done a pretty good job at keeping those people out of the system. mmkk has only been DVing people who bring value to the platform. He's an abusive flagger.
Seems a bit strange he unvoted our witness right after these comments even though I mentioned that I'm not too familiar with SBI but what I've heard is that it's not so much curation than receiving votes depending on the delegations. Only times I've found it annoying is when votes land on comments of those who aren't active posters as it tends to turn a lot of comments highest up in the comment section no matter the comment so I figured the voting of the posts was similar (without oversight). Oh well, pretty passive aggressive move to unvote us the one time I comment about SBI. :)
In a different thread, when mk was contacted by one of the head people of c-s, a she, he said that he would give back the WV if they complied with him and remove the UV. She didn't. And that was that.

If you look at the people buying into @SBI program, you will find most of them put a lot of work into what they post. Since most people don't give away shares at complete random, you will further find more people who are putting in the work. Isn't this what we want on the platform? Do they get "curated" by a human every time they post? I'm pretty sure not. Taking into account the above two sentences, those who don't get blacklisted from the multiple quality blacklisting providers, which in turn gets them BL'ed from receiving SBI - "oversight", will receive their UV on just about every post they make. For those just starting out on the platform, have an UV, no matter how small, helps with user retention. Isn't this what we need and want?
MK doesn't seem to understand any of this, so his lone crusade (thus far) is actually going against his statement of wanting to keep his investment safe. He's repeatedly, like a person with down syndrome who must repeat himself in three's and must have you repeat in back in three's, shooting himself in the foot. His action and words speak for themselves if you'd like to take a look.

This is about the only thing that I've agreed with mk on. From what I've read, that had been at the discussion table for a while before mk attacks. When when I became aware of mk's actions about two weeks later @josephsavage put an immediate stop to it. So, that is no longer happening. (Damn, I wasn't aware that I was receiving them on my comments before all of this started to happen. lol. I can understand why most of my comments shouldn't be getting a skinny/fat UV.) - Problem solved. Let's move on, mk, mk, mk. LOL
Sure I get that, there's a lot of investors here who shoot themselves in the foot, many who frequent my post and downvote anyone commenting on them and then they go after their posts and comment section too. It's not like I was agreeing with mk nor am I aware of his actions nor was I completely aware of how SBI works. There's a lot of projects out there and not so much time to get into the root of their system, you would think the owner would show up with some facts instead of unvoting a witness that works on improving Steem with manual curation and onboarding + retention. It makes the case look even worse from my perspective if he becomes this defensive instead of debating the case.
I give away 10 SBI shares to winners of the Shadow Contest every week. We are celebrating the 2 year anniversary of the Contest this week. And I get downvoted by mmmkkkk. I give away 2 SBI shares every week to the 40th place winner on Asher's Engagement League Post.... And I get a downvote from him for doing that. An artist friend in France did a contest this week to support my #FeatheredFriends tag and innocently gave away SBI. She does not deserve his downvotes. He is a huge discouragement to a lot of us who put a lot of time and energy into making Steem a good place to be.
stop milking Steem blockchain

He did something similar when @c-squared UV and resteemed: Steem N' Roses: My Response to the Attacks on the SBI Community as a Whole.

Curating Quality USERS.
Is it curation, though?
User curation is curation in my opinion, but I am used to people disagreeing with me.
