I gave up self voting over 2 years ago and haven't posted in a couple weeks to concentrate on manually curating good content in 3 different communities (POB, Leo, Hive) and keep my VP from going to far under 90%. So I would like to think I am not here for entirely selfish reasons. :)
I have voted for 6 of the last 10 burn posts so I am some where in the middle as far as my thoughts on burning but I am far from an expert. I get approximately 5-6 POB for a burn post (which I always stake). I get around 60-70 POB a day for all my manual curation. So on the odd days I do vote for the burn post is that abuse of the system? It just seems like a good way to help the value of the token every so often. Which in the end helps large and small stakeholders alike.
@oldmans I believe that this decision of yours is a very good one and I applaud you for that...thank you sir...
Thank you! Being in the position of having enough stake that my vote actually matters is new territory for me but it is a good position to be in. :)
I just mentioned to @antonym also that I throw out my opinions and there are some people that get hit by the ricochets, it's not a position of calling anyone out by any means, just food for thought and an attempt to get more opinions out on the table.
I've noticed the drop in posts from you lately but it's great to hear that you're zoning-in on quality curation and it's keeping you busy.
I'm not directly saying that it's abusing the system at all to vote on burn posts. My comments about the self-rewarding aspect may come across like that but it's more to highlight that it's removing from circulation while limiting the scope of distribution. There hasn't been much discussion about the cause and effect of voting on them so it seems just to bring it up.
