I would have not gotten into this discussion, if I didn't believe what I am doing is right.
Nobody lives believing they are in the wrong. To admit being wrong and act on it is a fools life. The whole conflict here just highlights the rot that exists, I don't think everything ph-fund does is crap if it got more authors motivated to post, stay and build. But the means to get there is still using people's posts as tools. There are cleaner ways to fund a project if the community they built on knows how to give back without peer pressuring the 50% beneficiary gimmick.
PH Fund could learn something from other curation groups, they don't require people to use beneficiaries or community tags, and the authors supported do not necessarily require the people to give support or votes back. Only when the votes stop coming will the community members stop supporting the community, that's one red flag I see that the community was never built on good foundation but on votes.
So now PH fund has less delegations and more members in need/wanting those votes, they released an announcement to stop promoting? lol. Not a healthy sign of growth.

I completely agree with you on the above and same applies to both the parties involved, for and against.
You may be right at your part, this can be used for what you are saying, but maybe it is not getting used for it.
Each coin has two sides. Concentrating on only one aspect it not a good analysis.
If I am saying I am doing it voluntarily. Why do people consider it as pressurized or a gimmick.
If I will see something wrong, I am not a plant that cannot move from one place to another.
For now, I believe in something I am pursuing.
Thanks for updating my knowledge.
