My posts about zing? People aren't voting them because I'm selling the hbd to buy zing, they're voting them beause of me as an author posting about it. As I said here, nobody cares what you do with the rewards as long as you're earning them fairly from having been active on hive in various ways:
It becomes about intention. If an account who posted regurarly decided to send @rs-burn-engine their hbd or beneficiary rewards, no one would care because they're forfeiting their rewards to help the cause of this project. This project however, from the get go made it clear they'll use rewards generated for this and unlike regular accounts
I'm posting about this issue now for instance, whether or not I buy zing with the HBD is my business, I'm spending my earned rewards to invest in the token. I could spend it on splinterlands or rising sun for all anyone cares, I didn't earn them to specifically increase the value of zing.
These accounts are from day 1 getting a lot of curation with the sole purpose of the scheme they've set up, it's not costing them anything and it's not costing the curators anything because voting power has to be spent, they're choosing not to curate with it.
