What are your views about burn tokens to get votes? Is it vote selling or an evolved version of bidbots back in action.
This question is related to "HP is the key they hold", burn tokens to get votes is a way to gather hp. "draining the DHF", it's not just about DHF but how hive is evolving with time.

burn doesn't mean they get a vote. If we accept it & if no HW blacklisted member (we check with HW Blacklist too), we place a vote & curator will follow that lead. If that happen, tokens burn, otherwise it will refund.
I think most of curation projects are following the same lead. We added a token to that simple mechanism. That's all.
"I think most of curation projects are following the same lead."
I am aware of all the projects. My issue lies in my ideological differences with this model of distributing votes. The popular one is ecency. Having different ideologies is fine. Also, I wish this model would stop on Hive, as it gives me vibes of vote selling, similar to the bidbots era. Thanks for respectful exchange of dialogues. I would love to listen to pros of burn to vote model related to contributing to hive.
Somehow I agree with you, but in most cases votes are sharing between friends or people who we know. As a result some valuable Hive members posts are are going un-noticed. So ecency, neoxian are trying to answer that blind-spot here. That's what we try too. If we get no notifications, we also go with favorable authors, most of them are at the daily trending list.
I hope you know me at the discord. Anything you wish to know, just tell me. Nice to have a professional discussion here.
Cheers~
When you refund those that don't make the cut, they take no risk in trying to get through the gauntlet.
IF you weren't selling votes, but running a lottery for votes, the entrance fee would be forfeit.
Both are paying for votes.
I like alot of the things you have done for us, but this is not one of the things.
We ran off 'good' people for selling votes, but we turn a blind eye to this?
Smdh.
