Hi @fisteganos,
Thousands of people are coming in to this platform and curation services can't reach them all, so i support vote buying system, so that quality posts can be curated. However, we can't control the actions of people abusing the service and we can't call vote buying bad because of other people's actions
I think businesses should be allowed to be built on steemit because it's a social media platform. If Businesses are built on Facebook and Instagram that do not have rewards, then it should be done on steemit.
