I see they have retaliated on someone who dared to downvote them. I'm against vote trading as we lack decent PoB curation as it is. Should I downvote your post to help the rewards distribution?

Delegating for profit is vote selling.
I'm not sure it's a black and white thing. Most people will expect something back for delegating. It could be a share of rewards. I delegate to a load of small accounts with no expectation of anything back. I do have issues with votes being given with no account of quality as that harms Hive.
Yes, the autovoting from a 'curation project' is certainly an issue.
As are platforms that facilitate selling your vote wholesale weeks at a time.
I know those are popular, but so are drugs.
Both are caustic in the same way.
Oh they have? Mind sharing more info on who/how much/etc?
and yeah feel free to, I'll wait for a bit to see how much more time this post takes out of me but will dv tomorrow or so if not (or if others downvote in the meantime, I'm sure ctime will wake up soon). I promise I won't retaliate. ;D
Couple by @deepresearch DV'd by 100%, so taking off a lot more than he could.
Thanks, countered them.
Thanks for reaction!
Pretty disgusting behavior to downvote someone that much for downvoting his shitty automated reports, especially since he's doing it with his delegator's stake. I'll be keeping an eye on his upvotes in the near future and hopefully posts like these and others reading this will make his delegators aware of how he uses their stake and along with the upcoming linear curve there won't be a reason to continue delegating to him anymore.
It sounds like the next hardfork will make some voting activities less lucrative. I get that some will keep automating it, but anything to encourage more genuine curation is welcome. Of course some will be looking to ways to exploit even that. It's an endless arms race.
I fully expect more self-voting, vote-trading in circle with even smaller accounts since convergent curve will be removed and some current curation maximizes starting to vote way higher on certain accounts with some possible off-chain deals for getting a higher cut for the votes. We'll have to try our best to counter all of that.
