If you're worried about income to keep maintaining and hosting things just take a cut from delegations. Why would you deserve to collect author rewards for that to outcompete others in terms of returns.
You see how sleezy most of your practices are, right?
Still, it is hard to understand how your practices of using author rewards for building the POSH concept are not sleezy, but a puny 1$ - 2$ revenue for our bot upkeep is sleezy, and how funny it is that you think we are outcompeting others in terms of returns. If we were just doing that, we would have several million delegations coming to us.
Please try to understand that we are not your competitors or enemies. We are a small community on Hive, and we don't appreciate being destroyed.
You say you offer 100% delegation returns but then complain about not being able to pay for hosting so you have to accept author reward on shittoken delegation reports.
I'm getting tired of this nonsense, if you're acting dumb on purpose then please continue to this fascade.
We have already stopped the 20 percent additional perk and stopped the LEO curation because you hate LEO so much. We have conveyed that already in previous comments. You are still attacking us, and the intentions are unclear. Now we don't know who is acting dumb on purpose. You have been talking about the same things again and again, cleverly dodging the questions about your abuse of this system.
Let's talk about your POSH, ZING, or other projects where you use the reward pool to fund your projects with the help of self-votes. Can you deny the fact that you have built your empire on Hive with the help of the reward pool and self-votes? If using author rewards for bot upkeep is an abuse, who said it is allowed to use the same author rewards to fund all your projects? Not all people are fortunate enough to receive 400k delegations to build an empire on Hive and target small communities, ultimately destroying them.
If the second-layer token is your problem, you have also been doing the same thing. You have a similar delegation scheme for your ZING token, and you have been funding your project entirely using the self-upvotes from all your alt accounts. Is that not an abuse of the reward pool? Are you trying to prove to the world that your OCD alone is the best curation project in the world, with over 85% of the self-votes, and that no other curation projects should exist on Hive?

You have been doing this abuse for years now, and that's how you have grown bigger on Hive.
Many people in our community had great respect for you, which is now lost due to this continuous, unintentional attack.
