Your encouragement on Hive of their participation on Hive, to my eyes, represents your level of interest in attaining the stated goal of Valueplan and the hackathons, which is to encourage onboarding. Your response indicates your only interest is the money involved, since that is the only metric you suggest has any meaning.
...which strongly evidences a coordinated effort to obscure the information questioners seek, such as specific accounting for expenses, or onboarding results.
@valued-customer Since you have come down from enquiring to blatant accusations, I'll change my tone accordingly.
I won't be repeating this for you anymore as I don't like wasting my time on people like you, so please read it carefully - Instead of using my account to vote (0$), I try to get them votes from accounts which have some value (like Ecency). Of course I can't force stakeholders to vote but I make sure that I share all the good posts with them. If the content and formatting is good, they definitely vote. Example - https://peakd.com/codehivechallenge/@teamkids/completion-of-prototype-sentitrack--codehivechallenge
That's how I try to encourage them. By getting them votes with value. And money might not be the only metric but it is definitely one of the most important metric out there. And if you disagree to that, I hope you come out of the delulu land you are in soon.
It would seem very little effort went into encouraging @lucirace to participate on Hive if you didn't even upvote or comment on his post announcing Hivestar.
Like I already said, I am physically present in all these events. I talk to every team. I guide them. I ask Hive developers to become their mentors. And when the whole event is over, I have a call with each team individually where I try to encourage them to keep building on Hive. But again, I can't force them to be on Hive. So I don't need you to tell me that everything I did was lacking in efforts.
If only the effort you are putting into accusing others and ranting your crap which no one asked for were to be directed towards bringing more people to join our ecosystem, our chain would have been at a better place.

TL;DR - I don't care how everything looks to your eyes.
You didn't answer my question about the bots.
I don't understand what question you are trying to ask. Are you saying I am using bot accounts? Or are you enquiring about the bot votes that are present on the posts?
I don't know for how many years you have been on Hive, but let me tell you a little something - Vote Trail or Curation Trail
When 1 account votes, others follow. And "others" can comprise of bot accounts too.
It is the purpose of Valueplan. "...putting our name out there..." has the purpose of onboarding users and investors.
If onboarding is the only thing you care about, let me tell you a little secret. Anyone can write a script to create hundreds or thousands of Hive accounts. And then VP can claim that it onboarded these many users.
I have already mentioned that onboarding is not the issue, its the retention part. If you have ideas on how we can retain the users we onboard, do share. But if crap is the only thing that comes out of your mouth then I would suggest please don't write another word.
No, it won't. They may make more posts you pay them to make, but when you stop paying them to post they will stop posting, and you know that.
Seems like you can't even read properly. We are not paying them to write posts. We will simply be giving out their prize money in phases. So let's say if the 1st prize is 1500$, we will only give the winning team 500$, and then ask them to keep building their project. Once they show more progress like community building or proper tokenomics in place, we will release another 500$. And finally when the project is up and running and the developers feel comfortable on Hive, we will release the last instalment of 500$.
This way, if a developer is not going to stay on Hive, at least we won't be giving away 1500$. But if they really choose to stay and develop, they are worthy of receiving the full amount.
I asked you to please do that, as I spent 14 hours on a roof yesterday. I will point out that failing to do so is an answer to whether you are accountable to Hive for our payments to you.
Everything is on chain. No one is stopping you from checking the transactions. I'm not your servant who'll do whatever you ask me to. So when you are well rested, go check the transactions from valueplan account.
I am accountable to VP and VP is accountable to the Hive community which I am a part of too. So don't you dare threaten me. I volunteered to do my part for Hive and its betterment. Unlike you who just knows how to make baseless accusations.
