The reality is, it is their money and they are free to do what they want with it. Expecting them to do anything other than what they want with it, will never end well.
If that is a concern of yours, you can use that as criteria to determine how you influence the reward pool with your own stake.
Ultimately this is all just another form of mining if you boil it down.
Hello @themarkymark why are you and your friend bots downvoting all my blog posts recently. I post original content daily with most of my posts receiving hundreds of upvotes. What is the issue?
Yep, so true.. I think saying I will not vote for people is telling them to sell.. which was not my intention, but I can see how people can take it that way.
I am sure many others with even more stake than me do not care about such things and will keep voting for those that are selling all the time.
Rewarding those who hold stake sounds completely fair, those take huge risks holding a asset that is volatile. They could have invested in anything else but they chose Hive. So I think its fair to give them more reward as its showing respect so someone else staking as well.
Having criteria for how and why you vote is perfectly acceptable. It's a shame more people don't.
