Feel that, manual curation can be pretty hard sometimes, that's why I love to do it with @OCD since as a team it's easier to find good content.

Buying votes with bitshares? You mean Whaleshares and the other one? If your content is good (and yours is) then vote buying is not such a big problem since you're not really abusing the platform. But still, I do believe that it should be gone at all and the focus to be on curation and spreading of wealth. :D
