I'm going to have to check out that post from acid then, I have a feeling after seeing something recently that I might have filled a lease to an account that's running this...
After I've done #hiveblopomo, I'll try to do a bit more manual upvotes and chuck some here and there. I follow trusted curation trails like the two music-community and musicforlife one's and a few others that I believe are manual but it makes even those of us who've been here 3 years dizzy trying to keep up with it all and still produce content!
I'm very wary of delegating to anyone and don't do paid leasing. I did follow some trails ages ago, but I found my votes going to posts I would not want to support. We just have to do what is viable for us.
It's a tough balance man. I want to help and support some projects where I can but the way this system is set up incentivises shortcuts and I'm guilty of falling in to the trap of chasing APR short term. I'll have to spend some time reviewing the accounts I have leases with now, thanks for the PSA!
I know my APR is less than what I could be making, but I don't worry about it too much. I guess that some people rely more on curation than posting and so will try to maximise the return regardless.
I probably shouldn't worry too much either now I've reached my HP goal but would still be nice to make the HP sustainable and take some earnings out for a deposit on a house at least, especially if prices rise to a couple of bucks per HIVE. That's life changing money territory in the UK!
Please offer delegations to someone else if so.
Will do (or use it myself)! I've just cancelled my lease to that account after speaking with AcidYo
