for me a blog is supposed to be about what you enjoy/your hobbies/do, your life if it was something else like promoting products, etc. and just trying to earn money it wouldn't really be a blog in my opinion so having someone else manage your blog where you post about the things you enjoy and do is just stupid.
You brought up a lot of good points and yeah I am guilty of some of them also like auto voting which I have removed and only do manual now and I do have bought HBI tokens before but oh well... also I have always been bad at engaging on other people's post but I do try at least and trying to get better :P
