Users are free to use the power of their shares the way they see fit, and it is for members to decide whether being refunded for their votes when they're on holiday is a scam or not, our members believe very strongly that it is in line with the original intent of the whitepaper, and it benefits all the members to the degree that we've never had complaints about it or people wanting to leave, I think that in and of it self speaks for itself since the SOM community is from 2017 already
You don't vote in return for votes, you vote because you're part of the community and you vote because you trust the communities algorithm to make best use of your voting power.
SOM was originally designed as an alternative to scammy paid upvote rings that don't benefit the members.
If you want to know more or feel like you dont understand any part of it just hit us up and we'll answer your questions, our service has always been free and has benefitted all members.
You ask people to sacrifice their posting authority and rely on trust that it will not be abused. We all know how that goes
