I agree with you on most aspects, those that abuse tags should be penalised, but if a tag is relevant to the material in an actual post, I will upvote it, but in saying that, I now only upvote original content produced through the following front ends, in either #POB, #VYB and #CINE, I find a lot of #leo posts are circle jerked by the whales in leo fininace and their discord group, who dictate who can and cannot earn leo rewards. If only I had your status?????
Which IMHO is at the detriment of the platform as many prolific and creative content creators are discouraged from posting using that front end, it was in fact one of the first I used, but I quickly moved away because of snide and degretory comments even after cosistant engagement.
I no longer upvote any posts from this front end and prefer to to bloster the communities that have welcomed and surported my content.
With that being said I fully unstand your reasoning and we should move forward promoting the communities that are most relevant and do not milk the rewards that we have worked hard to earn.
Curation is still King and we should all pay attension to the conetent we curate, I Know I do.
