From what I understand, it is about using fanbase correctly and distributing votes fairly, despite being a small account. In the case of growers, I understand what you are saying and I have seen it. The good thing is that they are quickly detected by hivewatchers.
I see renting as a quick option that doesn't allow you to build something solid in the long term. In Hive the hardest thing to get is followers, gaining the trust of another person, it's not just about the content but the work you do and how you manage your process here.
I have always respected the freedom of action of each person, but the quick options are not the ones I like the most. Mainly because they are not long-lasting. Regarding the last part, my position is similar.
Mainly, I like to find diverse content in trends. Not monofunctionality. The interesting thing about this is to see what another person can give from their intrinsic talents and abilities. Rewards for healing should be directed that way. It is a particular position, it may be supported by some and opposed for others, as you argue at the end.
