Congratulations on achieving a reputation of 80 and having a 130K HP stake.
I fully agree with your point about accounts using Hive as an ATM.
I have never made a power down since I have been on Hive because I want to increase my HP but like you I don't like those who make continuous/total power downs.
In my opinion a good rule of life is to give when you get and I think those who keep at least 50% in HP of their earnings on Hive believe in the future potential of Hive, everyone else does not.
That is why I prefer to support authors who write medium-low quality posts but have a high propensity for staking than authors who write great posts but have HP always close to 0
Happy new year! :)
I'm still gobsmacked when I see high rep accounts that's been around for many years only have a few hundred HP staked 😏
As to support, I'm more selective now and curating very safe on those I know, but this year I would like to expand my reach, just need to spend more time curating...
All the best for 2025 for you!
