Per your clarification, it's wasted as it's seemingly only available to those who pay for it. I didn't realize that, per promises and duty to his delegators (paying investors), his account can only vote via the bot, rendering him restricted from manual votes. Do you endorse this? Is this trend from an evangelist the right direction for Steem Power?
I think it's a pretty lousy direction and sends a controlled/centralized banking message to the community, versus a way to give back to people to help it thrive from the bottom up.
Also, how about a sliver of empathy on the other items discussed, or an upvote for any of those who wrote plenty on this string, since your voting power isn't necessarily locked up from manually rewarding for engaging content? You took the time to position your reply with an upvote. Were everyone else's sentiments not worth the slightest gesture if you found it engaging enough to reply? Encouragement goes a long way when appearing to be focused on picking apart only the items you'd like to challenge.
