Thanks for the shout out.
It's too bad all this is even necessary. Hive (and before it, Steemit) has a long history of self-destructive behavior. And, just when the blockchain fixes one existential problem (bidbots), another arises in its stead (downvoting abuse).

VYB has blocked several of the biggest Hive problems - downvoting, self-voting (using alt accounts and circle jerk groups), and bot voting. It will take more work to stop spam etc, and I imagine the hive cabal will throw in plenty of that, but there are really intelligent people applying themselves to making it work.
