Busy does not take beneficiary. They get curation rewards from all their upvotes.
This post was posted through busy and it has no beneficiary per Steemd.com.
It is difficult to prove that the move away is a move to both other options, but anybody who has ever contributed in a comment thread via Busy on mobile is definitely happy having more options now. And there is a visible marketshare drop for both busy and esteem. So I think we can safely connect those dots.
Partiko doesn’t take a beneficiary either.
I heard that it did take a beneficiary. That was a while ago though. Thank you for the correction. I did try them, but didn't take to them.
The only “Busy beneficiary” option I know is the busy referral for new signups through your personalized Busy link. It seems that’s still active.
Although I wouldn’t want to take 10% of my friends’ earnings. But that’s jsut me, pretty sure others have less qualms with that.
