It is a membership pass to the VIP whitelist, which in turn requires the holders to do work and create content. As a community support account we empower small content creators to stick around and keep posting because they can generate some sort of return for their efforts.
Vote selling would entail putting up X amount of money to bribe a large account for a vote worth X+, that isn't the case with my project. You are helping to contribute to this snowball of Hive Power and dip into it when creating posts. It is a more fair and equitable situation than simply buying upvotes. You can sell your tokens and forfeit your VIP pass at any time- vote selling does not offer any sort of a refund or redemption.
Look man I'm only doing what I can to try and grow this network and the hive userbase. Being downvoted and hated on is very discouraging but wont stop me from continuing to help the small content creators out there. It is sad to see people misunderstanding your vision and goals:
You can do the same without the need of a Token sale to “contribute”, that's like askin' for free HP without doin' any effort to earn it. Let alone that you will profit from the Token sale and also offer an upvote in exchange, which equals a vote-sellin' scheme.
No, it's simply buying upvotes but not in the old-fashioned way, Just more complicated steps for it to hide it.
True, so this is still a vote-sellin' scheme but with an opt-out option.
If that's the actual Goal behind it, why not Just find these small content creators and curate them manually, instead of askin' them to buy a Token to be upvoted? Sure, yes, not a vote-sellin' scheme, not at all.
:smirk:
What I am doing is helping to grow the overall Hive economy and ecosystem
what you are doing is helping to destroy it by breaking it down, discouraging locking up token supply, and also by saying what I'm doing is bad when it only encourages small content creators to actually contribute to this platform.
Open your eyes man this is good for Hive and it is not harming anyone- if you believe otherwise youre insane.
Don't need your help to grow hive. It is growing fine.
Buy hive and power up. That’s the way to help.
This is vote selling.
