I've never heard of such a thing until now. I doubt I'm at risk as my voting power is quite small but it is concerning you seem to have been conned into this. That's the best case scenario, the worst is that your account has been compromised without you having mistakenly given permission..
Also alarming is the news of a bug that is not allowing accounts to use the RCs that they have. They get a message saying that they need rc to comment or post etc. when in fact they have sufficient rc...

FREE is never free. He wasn't scammed. He didn't read what he signed up for. lol.
Buyer beware.
Dear @dramatoken
You can say, that echnically I indeed agreed and sign up for it year ago and I didn't find this "small print" explaining those upvotes, partly because it is information displayed in FAQ section (wrong place really).
So saying that technically someone accepted hidden costs is not a solution. That will sooner or later upset other people (like I got upset and scared). And discussions like this one could be avoided (definetly it's not a good marketing for dlease or steemvoter). And this is something also worth considering.
Imagine outrage if you would find somewhere on Facebook FAQ that they are openly saying that by using their service you're allowing to sell your private data. They could say, that technically you agreed to it. But would you be upset and angry? Same thing. It's all about being transparent.
