You abuse Steem by not buying the vote of those willing to sell at a lost.

Seems to be very peculiar logic here. By not buying votes, we are somehow abusing Steem?

How about relegating that duty to those willing to perform the labor of evaluating the content?

If any do not wish to put in that work, they have the freedom to abstain from voting or or better yet, flagging the preminers currently exploiting the system. Would that not make the votes of manual curators more effective?

Or alternatively in this specific case...

Why don't you add commentary if you are going to showcase posts? That doesn't seem unreasonable especially considering you are occupying a slot on trending. I think what you are doing to here is setting the bar low. Well admittedly, it's already pretty low but do we really have to keep it that way?

What did you put on trending today?

Since when is the mere act if putting something in trending something we can pay ourselves on the back for? Shouldn't it be rather what we put on Trending?

What's sad to me is I actually see potential in posts like this. If they had a bit of commentary as you said and didn't use bots, this is exactly the kind of account I'd want to follow to find stuff to vote up. @trufflepig puts out a similar automated product, and I follow that account (they don't use bid bots). I'm not dead set against automation and AI generated posts as some people on STEEM if they are useful, but they do not deserve to be at the top of trending either.

Sorry, doesn't compute. You want to relegate the duty of buying votes for profit to who?

To non-invested scums that dump straight to the exchanges?

Your virtue signaling about not buying votes is why content discovery sucks so bad.

Why don't you shame the people selling their votes at a lost instead of those buying them at a profit?

They're invested unprincipled weasels taking a larger cut of an ever shrinking pie.

Idk since their votes are here. It's easier to hit two birds with one stone. The sellers and the person who made it all possible.

Then again, most of them are probably absentee anyhow, so it's really only you who feel the "heat". Pretty sure those sellers checked out mentally a long time ago.

Heh, buying at a profit. I guess if you sell first, you make profit. The only thing this massive business has been doing is create more overall inflation.

We'll see how the Tribes manage with their burning mechanism. Steem is somewhat beyond salvage by this point.

Will you at least flag some once HF21 rolls out?

You can be sure 100% of my flagging capacity will be used after HF21 to try to make up for all of those who don't.

BTW I'm talking about profit compared to value the vote can earn.
