Utopian and Dtube 'took' your votes? Neither of those are a voting service, and utopian doesn't even have a log in, just a method to use tags.
Are you sure you have this right? If so, could you explain a bit more so I can understand and avoid whatever happened to you?
I can't remember exactly, however I remember something like a percentage of either my vote rewards or direct votes went to them as a way of paying server costs etc. I just didn't like the fact it wasn't prominently mentioned, so I left.
Back when I was a member it did.
