RE: February Reward Report
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
If you buy votes either with hive/hbd directly or through a token it's frowned upon indeed. If you're buying curation in the token (i.e. you're not counting on getting hive rewards but rewards in said token, then that should be fine as long as it's not affecting L1 rewards).
For instance, if I pay you 100 l2 tokens, doesn't matter if you burn it or whatever, if that constitutes a Hive vote it's not acceptable.
Curation means curating based on the content, the author, etc, not cause you're getting something in return (other than curation rewards, engagement, follows, etc).

Yes, spot on. Way better at explaining it than I am :D
This is the exact system Ecency uses. So I'm unsure how you can say this is the rule yet allow a platform to do it 'because it's not all they do'. If you mean to say, it can be done, as long as there are checks and balances then that's fine. However it seems we're picking on certain select words and using those to formulate replies, it doesn't seem a productive way of moving forward.
Check the comments I linked to, I've tried getting them to stop that activity to no avail, they keep defending it saying they're checking to make sure it won't get abused, cherry on top is that they allow users to earn points based on delegations and then use those points to "request" upvotes on their content, content that is often borderline farmy if not often abused that goes unnoticed. Just cause I can't stop a big project from doing so doesn't mean I can't voice my concern on why new ones shouldn't follow in the same steps.
If anything this whole thing with ecency has given those looking to abuse this from the get-go an excuse and many grow quick and fast due to the greed of others not understanding why this means higher APR and not caring that it's taking rewards from everyone else who stays true to PoB and is happy with the APR they get from curation and HP rather than pushing it.
Yup, just caught up on the post you shared, thanks for sharing that. I do believe your interest is in leading Hive forward, sometimes these comments get missed and replied to out of order. Thanks again for sharing your views on the situation, I still believe we're in a similar position. As an 'OG' and as a 'Newbie' here on Hive.
