I am opposed to all forms of vote selling. For several reasons really. The biggest one, and the one that seems almost ironic in light of all the claims that vote bots are "needed to help the minnows" is that vote selling services serve to increase what is already a huge wealth inequality on Steem. It is true that individual users of vote selling services can (not always, and depending on which service used) turn a small profit (keep in mind, profits are ALWAYS smaller than they seem when the vote comes in - you only get ~75% of the post payout as author reward and if the price of Steem drops while the post is in payout you can even lose money as the value of the vote you received decreases). The vote selling service itself also turns a small profit. But the lion's share of the profit from this activity goes to the largest whales on platform; they rent their steem power in the form of a delegation to the vote seller, and the vast majority of the profits generated in this practice go to paying the weekly rent on the delegation rental. Is it really helping minnows if they turn a tiny little profit but in essence participate in something that funnels their money up into the pockets of the absolute wealthiest handful of accounts on platform? What worries me the most about this is these accounts are already demonstrating that they do not have the long term best interest of the platform at heart. Taking the short term gain available from renting out their SP is attractive, I am sure, but this sort of behavior does not instill confidence in me that these whales won't bail at the first sign of trouble, dumping their Steem on the market and crashing the price. All the minnows that "boosted up" their account by some small amount of steem power will in fact see a net negative if the price of Steem crashes.
