RE: Cryptid Hunter August Curator Announcement & Rule Updates
If you hold a sufficient amount of SP, you can delegate your SP to earn over 10% annual compound interest.
Recommended delegation services: @upvu, @nixiee, @upex, @avle

Thatās definitely not what the financial support from the Steemit accounts was meant for!
The big votes are supposed to encourage users to power up. They're meant to help people build their own stake so they can support others in turn.
My goodness, where have we ended up?

If you have something to say, please tell us. These things don't help much.
I appreciate your opinionāit raises an important point.
First of all, I personally do not support the use of vote bot services.
However, the reality is that many Steemit users are in favor of using vote bots, and when trying to explain the advantages of holding SP (Steem Power) to new users and investors, especially in regions like Korea, the most immediate examples tend to be vote bots or curation rewards.
Moreover, vote bot services are actively being used and promoted within the current Steemit ecosystem, and there is no official stance against them.
For that reason, I donāt see a reason to avoid mentioning them.
If you are against this structure, I encourage you to speak up publicly to the users and operators of vote bots.
As for me, Iāve been consistently raising concerns about the current curator system through the concept of "bounty hunters", and I have repeatedly discussed this issue.
But pointing fingers at wording or making accusations wonāt change anything.
We need to keep discussing the problems, sharing them with others, and pushing the conversation forward.
Letās be honestājust because you and I have opposing views about vote bots doesnāt mean theyāll suddenly disappear.
There are, indeed, hypocritical users on Steemit, and sometimes that hypocrisy is what earns them more votes.
Thatās precisely why we need clear, constructive dialogue and user education.
If we truly want to address the issues around vote bots or bounty hunters, we need to clearly explain the problems, continuously raise our voices, and persuade the communityā
not through blame or condemnation, but through reasoned conversation.
Your concerns are valid, and I share many of them.
Letās keep the dialogue going and work together toward a better Steemit ecosystem.
That may be very commendable and honorable, and I'm sure you have your (probably positive) reasons for it. But to recommend those services in the same breath... Well, I find that pretty counterproductive.
I know the reality. I know it all too well ā and now, having been part of a curator team myself, Iāve been confronted with it again in its most extreme form.
The moment I saw the first Upvu vote years ago, I made my stance clear. Publicly. Hundreds of hours, thousands of comments, countless discussions. Sure, even back then, about all the auto-votes and vote-buying bots. Thatās when creativity began to die, and greedy capitalists started to take over. Back then, we still had our little niches...
Forget it. Iām tired. So very tired.
I wonāt raise my voice again.
