Hello @kevinwong
I have never liked the idea of using any vote buying service, i used it once and after much thought I found out that it is counter productive.
I believe that we should spend our time making valuable connections instead of buying votes with a view to earn more.
Another thing I don't like is the idea of renting Steem Power. I believe that it will make Steemians focus less on what actually matters which is building connections with that will also bring the desired earnings down the line.
The comments that also comes along with it makes it more annoying.
@ogochukwu renting Steem Power? just heard about it now, this will make people lose the right frame of mind to what steem stand for.
People are free to trade as long as there's mutual consent. But yea I think it's ultimately counterproductive as well. It's based on rental in the end. I think it's better to encourage using the same funds to acquire and keep SP instead, going for the long term game. But then again I have a strong opinion on rent-seeking behaviours https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking which I'd agree isn't a clear cut matter, which is also why I tend to be more middle-ground since extremism might be worse..
