and a 3rd reply: I do appreciate you being completely transparent about this reality, as i personally had no clue this was the case. I vote based on different reasons than you, but I do tend to vote for unknown people, and comments, because my ROI is greater that way. I also adhere to strict sense of tastes, and so therefore I could not give out my SP in good conscience, knowing it might be upvoting shitposts....
Quality and honest curation is how I operate, not this way....so I believe the wrong people are in power on this platform...
I don't know if you paid attention but my post actually offers a solution to improve things which was the whole point actually.
yeah, I saw the solution. I was still in aghast mode.....
So 50/50 rewards would solve this completely?
Here's another question: why not upvote the posts you like AND use the vote bots too?
Why are you thinking in black and white terms?
I use a bot (umami) because I cannot keep track of all the people I support, but then I do organic curation with my stella account.
Why wouldn't you upvote those posts too?
