Vote trading scheme? HSBI is not a vote trading scheme. It is a reward system that has been around for over 6 years.
We are rewarding quality content, quality engagement, and quality participation. Our rewards are public. There are no votes being traded here. This was a disingenuous comment on your behalf.
If you'd like more information about HSBI works, I created a write-up several months ago which may be of use. In case you refuse to read it, @josephsavage, I hope you will be kind enough to explain how HSBI works to @hivewatcher.
