Well we don't get to decide what everyone else votes on, but if they are abusing rewards then there is a better chance they will be downvoted now. All we can do is use what VP we have to support what we like. There's no perfect system and we have to work with what we have. Maybe the witnesses will decide this model does not work and change it again. There will be winners and losers if they do.
