Their concept of alternative reputation system was really promising, and that's not a vote selling service.
It was meant to be a support for development efforts to get some traction (I'm not taking part in a "Stake-Based Sponsor Rewards").
I think the goal was achieved, and I should remove that delegation quite some time ago, especially that in such cases utopian route should be a way to go.
Thanks for pointing that out. It's good time to clean things out.

Oops, my goal was not for you to remove the vote. I actually kind of like what they are doing, because we had a similar idea with the follows. But what they didn't realize is that the situation on Steem with the trending page and no other content discovery mechanism leads to people following every author that seems at least little bit interesting. That makes follow much less relevant than they probably think (see for example their regular upvotes to buildawhale).
Are you assuming Steeve is a vote-selling service? That might be a big misunderstanding. Steeve is more like an AI-enhanced curation guild. Steeve gives recommendations from outside of people's feeds, they decide whether they like it or not and SteeveBot then upvotes the most popular posts (overall, not just the recommendations). There is no way people can buy SteeveBot's vote and we took measures against its potential gaming.
