Still milking the reward pool. What a joke!
Know that this farming op was very likely the straw that broke the camel's back and why I have very low confidence in both chains as other whales farm in precisely the same way.
You even seem critical of this voting behavior in your staking rewards proposal yet you will not abstain from it. Here's an excerpt from one of your recents:
This means, the software is automatically voting on certain posts/following other voters, as this is the easiest/most-efficient way to earn curation rewards. Sadly, this behavior screws the algorithm where only a handful of users have most of the rewards and eye-balls (high rewards => trending)
While the idea of incentivizing manual & honest curation via rewards was and is still a great idea; in practice, based on years of experience, I'm quite certain that it won't work, at least not if Hive wants to get out of the shadows; something that Steem never achieved.
It's a great idea huh? But you see fit to autovote this pet project of yours everyday? You're just running a script dude. Who asked for this?
This is you rn
I'm really aghast that you are still doing this. Because what you are doing endemic of a larger problem, I am retiscient to do anything to help either chain. Take note, if I do anything to restore a downvote rewards program. It won't be for ppl doing as you are. It will be for honest voters as you say. Not so you can use the benefit u received from vote selling to self-enrich.
