I am so interested in this comment section... but I'm leaving my opinion first.
I LOVED SBI, it was such a useful tool back when I was a STEEMITMAMAS Moderator. It was an encouragement tool. One share meant rewards for the rest of your hive career.
I still get upvotes from them. When I haven't written in a long time and don't know if I still have an audience, I know HBI will be there to welcome me back.
I stopped using it, pretty much for the same reason you did (upvote wars), but
i am glad I still have it.
I am glad to hear the project is still going strong. Would love to see it catch some new fire and get even more exposure.
