I'd consider this vote selling. The content also seems interesting - as while not an expert on it, it looks like a lot of it is spun content at the least. A lot of it (no matter the account) follows the same format too. Seems like a scheme.
It would be interesting to see the percentage of their vote going to buyers donators is - perhaps someone will have a look. From a quick look, every post in their trending has a 50% bene added - so that pretty much says that they aren't looking for other content at all.
I've been saying it's a community where people write about stuff they don't have much clue about "writing" for the sake of writing.
I'm sure he and his "core team" receive the lion's share of those beneficiary rewards. But beware, "poor peeps from VZ" gonna REEEE.
I don't mind people exploring, but writing spin for reward is tacky at best.
That's what happens when people pretend to be content creators.
But then again, why not full Yellow Power Ranger mode and make it close to 100% Beneficiary? There’s only one solution, follow the money trail across the accounts. If they cross somewhere, call 911.
Unrelated, but what does this have to do with the yellow power ranger?
That’s just a swinging term for overdoing it, try to cut at the edge.
It’s pretty nostalgic tho :p
Because they won't have takers. This way, the people can post and get the sense that they could get other votes as well as their own. It is a scam. Likely, there would be some crosses.
So it's a light scam? Comparable to cheap cheese with a high price tag, slight taste of almond, but also some salmon later in the breath :P
I don't like nuking people, maybe one can talk them down to earth.
Well that's nothing new with their community either and why more communities should focus on not doing this "we cover so many niches" bullshit because we need experts or people really interested in the niche to curate the content who can tell if something is spun/stolen and reward actual quality original content.
The person was "concerned" on my post with how HF25 will affect curation returnns with voting late. I suspect tey might also be looking for low value posts out of that group of 50% dele's after a few days to vote on, keeping them under the radar.
No surprises there either...

Yeah- - the track-record is there, dating back years.
Project Hope is one big pile of abuse.
There are other accounts that sell votes already.
