i saw it, and im going to cover some of the points in the post im putting up this morning, but two quick points generally:
indulging the "feeling of bitterness" is an error, and one of the reasons the myth persists.
As far as vote buying -- I do not object to vote buying on steemit per se. What i have a problem with is a post that has nothing in it but "i want to buy your vote for this empty post" or some pretext like "guess the number of jellybeans in this jar" or "which one of these people do you think is more attractive." or "guess if steem will go up or down".
that is to say -- a good quality post is a good quality post even if it offers incentives to voters. A poor quality post is a poor quality post regardless of whether it offers incentives.
The question is when does the game presented constitute actual content, and when is it merely a pretext to get votes for nothing at all. To me, its a somewhat subjective question. But subjective doesnt have to be a bad word.
