I gave them over 24h to respond, one of their accounts was even in my first post but didn't respond to the question at hand but instead to some random comment I believe, this is another post they could come forth and defend their actions.
Thing is even if they took no cut themselves and profited in any way this still goes against the EIP and curation across the whole platform, cause it incentivizes them to only vote posts of people giving them the post rewards even if they were to only use it to lease more HP or what their plans were exactly it goes against the rest of the rules of other communities and curation across the platform. Even more so it sets up a bad precedent for others to do the same and it will be very difficult to keep tabs on who is doing what with the "extra" rewards and sooner or later you have another bid bot era spawning with the upcoming hardfork to go back to linear curve.
Thank you for disclosing further details and clarifying my doubts and Good Luck 👍
