I read up on this issue and not just this post, but posts by Marky and Curamax and I now understand what you were talking about.
I am all for using the latest technology and AI, but using AI to create an illusion of a social network is not what I had in mind... Many of us have unsupported the return proposal when Splinterlands was trying to get funded, I think having Splinterlands community support the return proposal now might be a good idea...
I can't ask you how you vote. Also I do not have any vested interest in whether Leo proposal get funded or not. I only care what is good financial discipline for hive community as a hive stakeholder. If they are requesting for my vote, they have to ask nicely! Not calling me stupid for running a data analysis.
That will get them in my bad books and there is never any exit out of that! :)
Again, I can't ask you or anyone how you/they vote. However, I have made my thinking visible. I am here for a long time and I know what is good for me AND the community. I have voted the return proposal.
