RE: A post about excessive self-voting/vote-trading

in #curationlast year

eheheheh honestly didn't expect other reply than that.
Like you, I also don't see anything wrong with the content or vote trading. Also I don't have any kind of problem with anyone in this chain, like I don't have any "eye problem" and in the post in example, I can see from the top 11 upvotes 7 are from the same user that it happen is the post creator, that happen that it makes from the total of $86 rewards, $61 are autovotes, do you really think I have a problem with them???
Can you also explain this 👇
"....you seem to always focus around their activity"
What do you mean by always focus?? What do you know that I don't know??

Most of your comments lately have been surrounding eddie's activity no matter what I post about, they don't even seem to be posting that often even looking at all their accounts in total and knowing he's full time Hive and does a lot in and around the chain I don't see why you'd focus so much on them when there's plenty of other accounts who just shitpost and do barely anything else getting similar rewards.

Forget eddie... believe me, I don't care if it's eddie, jimmy or mary.
Let me repeat, from top 11 upvotes, 7 are from the post creator, from the total of $86 rewards, $61 are from the post creator.
Challenge you to find more like this and respond if you agree with this, no matter who are the user!

How do you know it's Eddie and not Dan upvoting? As I've said depending on the content and effort and what kind of community member it is, I don't think that self-votes make it any less fair than if he'd receive votes from others. It's about value for value. Some would easily be able to do vote-trading which is what my post is about just to get your suspicions out of the way but effectively be doing the same thing, the bad part about them is that they don't do anything else on/for Hive other than generating those posts and getting them a lot of rewards all the while their content looks like it has no consumption, no views, etc.

I already understood your point.
Mine is
Posts with high rewards, most part of rewards coming from the creator.
Will I downvote those post? No.
It is nice? No.
Do I think it's less nice than someone autovoting a post with $2 rewards? Yes.
Do I think autovoting like this, from users with reputation, comparing with a newbie that plagiarize, is worth? Yes! Users with reputation might be example to others that might mimic them. No one mimic a newbie.

To finish our talk let me tell you something. You know as I know, reward pool is the main thing in Hive, maybe just 1% of regular users will be on Hive if rewards didn't exist. Is also the main source of dramas. You already know my opinion, we need more OCDs and less autovoting, assumed or hooded, vote-trading, bid-bots, whatever.
We also need more things to explode but an healthy reward pool is one of the keys to success.
