RE: VYB Airdrop Info -- Preliminary Tabulation & Calc's (Part 1 of 4) -- Summary for #1-336

So I'm not getting any due to self voting for myself with the inthink less than 50 pob I had staked?

That's a very arbitrary thing to make a requirement. Almost everyone upvotes their own posts.

Think your distribution is really missing the mark, if you want to onboard a lot of people giving a lot of people some stake does that. The goal of your project sounds like it aligns very closely with people who post in informationwar deepdives conspiracy censorship tags etc. Those people are all primed to want to use your platform. So I'm not sure why they wouldnt qualify for the token, and to be honest I've done tons of work on upvoting downvoted content with our curation trail, have put thousands of hours into curating truth posts with our informationwar trail. I'm not asking to be put on the list, I'm saying if you are leaving out obvious people like me and others then you guys are missing the mark on an easy way to get more people on your platform.

It's extremely hard to get people to use your product by just making posts about it.

I wish you guys nothing but success though.

The deep dives air drop is coming soon and is going to go out to thousands. I've worked through all that stuff already and am just sharing with you my thoughts on it to help you.

We debated quite a bit about how to handle self-votes when calculating airdrop percentages. Self-voting is allowed by Hive but often looked down upon by members of the Hive community. In the end, the decision was made for self-voted posts to still count toward the VYB airdrop, but only at 10% instead of 100%.

The 10% number was chosen so that those who consistently self-voted their posts would still receive some VYB, but would be encouraged to re-evaluate the real benefit to themselves of self-voting, especially in light of the fact that self-votes will be forbidden on VYB (consistent self-votes on VYB will result in the account, and associated alt accounts, being muted).

With all that said, we felt there was really no valid reason to self-vote comments. That's why the decision was made to penalize self-voted comments by -500%.

So, in summary, we don't dispute anyone's 'right' to self-vote. We simply choose to not support it.

I wish you guys luck.
