I bought SBI shares for people in Steem, but have now taken a refund on that. In principle it's a reasonable idea to give people at least some income from their posts, but really they need to get others engaging with them. Hive needs more manual voting and less of the automoted sort. I made a bit from SBI votes, but it was a small percentage of my rewards.
Downvoting small accounts over this seems petty. We cannot afford to lose them.
