I’ve never understood his visceral hatred of Steem Basic Income. Sure, maybe someone else might be able to come up with an argument against the program on economic or even ethical grounds, but @mmmmkkkk311 used to run a bidbot so can’t exactly claim the moral high ground.
And yeah, I’ve always believed that people can use their stake to downvote as they see fit, so I can’t fault him for doing so. But if you have a gripe, at least try to be consistent about it.
Over the last few years, I’ve sponsored a bunch of different accounts for SBI units, thereby acquiring quite a few myself. SBI doesn’t have the greatest ROI, and I certainly could have done better from an investor’s point of view by simply powering up and self-voting. Meh, I sponsored accounts for SBI units instead. But I don’t always want to take advantage of the units I have, and an easy way to accomplish that is by using the #sbi-skip tag. This is usually when I’m doing a “public service announcement” type of post, or sometimes when I’m doing a low-content quickie post. When using the #sbi-skip tag, the SBI bots don’t upvote the post. For his profile, @mmmmkkkk311 even says to use the tag:
Why then a @mmmmkkkk311 downvote for this post of mine from yesterday that included the #sbi-skip tag?
Look, I really don’t give a rat’s ass if he wants to downvote my stuff. I’m a mid-sized dolphin, if the Steem blockchain changes the world for the better and Steem moons, I’ll do just fine, even if I never earn another Steem here. But many of the accounts I’ve sponsored for SBI units are a lot smaller than me, minnows and redfish. For them, every 0.001 Steem earned is a pretty big deal. Are they also being penalized by @mmmmkkkk311 even when not benefiting from SBI bot upvotes?
Because I do give a rat’s ass about that.
Today’s semi-randomized #steembasicincome sponsorships (1 unit each):
@alaqrab, @azizbd
Post Beneficiaries:
5% - @steembasicincome
5% - @steemchiller
I guess the idea is...
If it is about content... (the pretend reason the bidbots were killed)
Then SBI is also blindly upvoting content without regard for quality.
That is not the way I see it, but my understanding of the position that those who are opposed to SBI are taking.
A blind upvote in exchange for Steem, is a blind upvote in exchange for Steem, no matter who made it.
Also, on a side note... I wish I could now transfer my SBI votes to a minnow who it would make a bigger difference to. Sadly we seem to have run off Joseph.

I think you are on to something there. I would also give my sbi to minnows.
Content agnostic voting is acceptable up to a certain point. Let's say 50 cents or no more than 50% of post value. Going after minnows who are getting 4 cents of sbi upvotes on a post worth 20 cents is just weird. It's the people getting constant 1$ votes with no apparent engagement we can scrutinize.

I agree!
If you review the content and find it engaging in some way, and others tend to like it too, who cares.
But we have gotten very petty during the wintery bear market.

Nice, now they have learned about "free lifetime upvotes" and will sponsor more people to the Steem milking program. Soon we will become one big circle jerk - #oldsteem. You forgot to tell them about flags? Hmmm... downvoting this shitpost

Cognitive dissonance is indeed quite powerful. Yours is very impressive.
And thank you for completely ignoring what this post was about, the #sbi-skip tag. That shows real skills at mental gymnastics. Not many could jump through those hoops.
