It is not a scheme and it is very quality content. It does not degrades the quality of our blockchain and it does add value.
Vote farming is a term coined to describe the practice of offering rewards for upvotes. Why is it problematic?
Because instead of contributing positive curation to the platform and finding posts of merit, the user's voting power is instead diverted. This is what I mean by diminishing curation.
Do you think if every user on Steem engaged in what you were doing that the platform would be sustainable? I think you need to consider the broader scope of your actions.
What about upvote bots? They are doing exactly what you are describing - vote farming. Many users offer rewards of SBD/STEEM to the upvote bots. Should the use of upvoting bots be discouraged on Steem?
Yes, I support the absolute removal of bid bots from the Steem ecosystem.
I believe bid bots are contrary to meritocractic rewards and the ideal of Steem being an equal voice platform ever being achieved.
It is one of the more difficult problems to address on the platform. I plan to write more about that and also the problem of cliques of corporatized interest engaging in circular voting among other things.
another good point
