Thank you @minion you've since day one always been fast to give me praise on my work and I appreciate you commenting on most of my work. We all have voices here and we must not be afraid to speak our minds out of fear of larger accounts attacking us. While I do not agree with some of the things that may be done I cannot help but see it in a different light after reading all of these comment and talking to so many about the issue.
The safe bet idea is a neat one. The curation system soon becomes gamed when you have people getting whale botted and you'll see both intentional and unintentional abuses of parties when you start blindly shooting copious curation rewards on posts that really do not merit it.
Thank you for the html code Sir!. I was trying to figure out how to trigger the actual function the follow button uses for a few minutes briefly a few days ago but nothing came of it. Will add your work and credit you for it. :)
Cheers man. Thank you for speaking your mind on the matter.
