While that be great if they were only used that way people will just use alt accounts to do it. I’ve seen a couple people claim to hate them but then you notice they are sending money to another account and that account is paying for the upvotes lol. Yep nice way for them to stay to their convictions!
That would be like me buying a second account and following everyone on the platform just so I can resteem all my blogs on that account trying cash in on f4f. Which come to think of it I’m sure many do that…
I'd guess that pretty much any system is going to have users and abusers, as well as legit people. The suggestion here was more for the legit curators to step up and buy a few votes to go to authentically deserving content. In doing so, it would remove that voting power from UN-worthy posts, whether self-upvotes, or someone doing the circle jerk thing with several accounts of their own.
I’m just wondering how many of them are going take a massive loss from using them past few days since the markets are taking a massive dump right now. I assume the upvotes included SBD being so overpriced.
I just wish they would limit how many times a day their serves would upvote the same account. Least force people who want to abuse things to go out and get a few accounts to keep doing what they are doing. Make it less rewarding by having less people all following just one account doing it and them losing out on natural votes that are their to make sure they turn a profit from spending so much.
Some people make no sense at all.
The other day, I saw someone bought their way into the "trending" feed by send 100 SDB to no fewer than six upvote service for a single post. Which, quite clearly, gave him less than $600 in total upvotes, just so he could publicly grind his personal axe over some issue.
A lot of people just don't make any sense.
