genuinely good people
yet they stop when they can't profit off of giveaway posts, what does that tell you?
It's getting a bit boring going over these things over and over. hsbi is just profiting off of people, they only curate those paying for it rather than those putting in effort and building an audience like curation projects/regular stakeholders do. Those are the good ones because they don't look at how much you delegate or pay them to give you author rewards.
Anything else is just middlemanning greed.
Of course they stop. If someone was always 0ing your posts wouldn't you try to reason with them? And wouldn't you stop if there was no way to reason with them? They were doing posts like you do, getting less rewards than you do and still they were sharing part of those rewards. The one this post is about has given me plenty of rewards. What have you given me?
How is HSBI profiting off of people? I've gotten a lot of upvotes from them. It's a unique project that works differently from other curation projects. Of course they vote those who have HSBI, how would they do it otherwise? If they voted content like others there would be no need for HSBI. Other curation projects also profit, is that not ok?
And you didn't answer the part about my own DVs.
"How is HSBI profiting off of people? "
Do you think you will recieve all the hive from curation rewards the day they stop the project ?
They existed even before Hive existed. It started out as steem basic income or something like that. They forked the basic income units with the steem/hive fork. They didn't have to do it.
Is the project eternal? Of course not. Nothing is eternal. Nothing stops the person/people managing it from selling it, or one day they need the money and just close, or the business gets into a deficit and they have to stop. Those are possibilities. There's also a possibility that Hive goes to 0.
So far, HBSI has been incredible and gave me upvotes every single post for a long time. So yeah, they are much better than all those whales who not only have ever given me an upvote, some also gave me DVs.

They are nice because they give me votes, yeah once more your here only for rewards
It wasn't the only reason. I was writing about what I was interested: Splinterlands. And it is the perfect place to write about Splinterlands because it's a game on this blockchain. Still, I have been back on making my daily posts, despite the DVs. Doesn't mean I'll do it everyday because I'm always getting 0 rewards but I'm still writing. Remove rewards for everyone and see who still write here. 99,9% of the users are gone in an instant.
There a difference between reader votes and autovotes you paid
I didn't pay anything for the HSBIs I won them. And HSBIs wasn't even 10% of the total value of my votes.
This is the first time I've seen somebody spin a project respecting shifts in community consensus to stop voting something as profiteering. You honestly would prefer people to keep fighting you and upvote zeroed content forever?
Keep defending vote selling, while we can see the sense of entitlement people posting garbage keep farming rewards from your project with while doing nothing but participating in blind giveaway posts also farming your votes, instead of engaging and building real connections like regular social media platforms do and getting rewarded for the effort. This is the shit you breed and you're here defending it like a greedy oil salesman.
