He never had that many views compared to rewards until he started getting on trending every single day because of guess what, VOTE COLLUSION by him and his friends.

You and I both know that if a post doesn't get on trending, the views number is way down, so that is just a terrible argument to make. Cryptopassion never gets a post on trending, put one of his posts on trending and watch what happens to his views/rewards numbers.
