If Utopian contributors get higher votes than other participants of steem-ua, which is supposed to be based on a set of UA metrics, then the system is wrong. However, the information about steem-ua supporting the Utopian contributors was announced publicly and scipio did not hesitate to explain the mechanism in Discord too. https://steemit.com/ua/@steem-ua/news-and-updates-on-steem-ua-and-ua-api
Anouncing it and explaining the workings is something diffrent. There is no word about they beeing curated oudside of the batch. Now word anywhere. So don't come in here on a high horse claiming it does.
And we don't live on discord do we? Nothing in sticky that i could find.
