And do you know how it why that's supposed to be connected to HBD APR?
? The witnesses who didn't support the proposal lost votes and the witnesses who did gained votes. Just so happens those same witnesses have their interest rate set lower.
That's hilarious, who comes up with shit like that?
There was definitely witness vote buying going on, that's been documented in posts and comments on chain. The rest I don't know, I'm not saying it's fake news though.
Of course people use their power and try to influence witnesses (and others). That's been happening since inception of the chain.
I'm just amused how a connection between the SPL proposal and HBD APR could be imagined, but the fantasy of conspiracy theorists is capable of anything.
I don't think people changed their interest rates, but those witnesses with the lower rate didn't gain a majority of the top 20 until the votes started going away because of the SPL proposal. It might be inadvertent, but there is a sliver of truth to it like many conspiracies.
People did change their interest rates. The top 20 didn't change at all.
Thank you for your witness vote!
Have a !BEER on me!
