I can't manually check every single account to see if it's legit, brand new and lower rep accounts get proportionally lower upvotes anyway, I got notified just today by my moderator @libertycrypto27 about this one.

Hi. Thank you for your reply.
Do these accounts need to send & of rewards to "balaenoptera" to get your upvotes?
I have noticed that they have this set up.
It’s a percentage set by default on a shared community account, those funds are powered down and used to reward authors who participate in the contest #untobisunto with a weekly topic and pinned community poll to choose winners.
Upvotes have nothing to do with the beneficiary and authors are free to remove it as they please.
Setting balaenoptera as a beneficiary is not a requirement to receive support in the community but it is appreciated because:Hi @hivewatchers I also answer this question because I help @fedesox manage the balaenoptera account.
For example, this post does not have balaenoptera as a beneficiary but it received 100% fedesox vote

In the past, a poll was done in which Odb members chose a fixed percentage of 3% as beneficiary rewards for those who post in Odb versus a free percentage.
There are members who have decided to leave 3% and others who on their own initiative choose 5% or 10% and others who post without beneficiary rewards using front ends that do not have the beneficiary option set.
There is a weekly contest where Olio di Balena members can vote for the best post which must have requirements (minimum 500 words, original content, proper source citation) and voting is done through a poll.

There will be other initiatives in the future that will reward those who interact the most and those who have medium to long-term goals on Hive.
If there are aspects to improve or correct we are absolutely open to advice
Alright. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
