I thought they weren't going to vote on anything and just leave it powered up as a show of good faith or something like that. It does seem like a waste, but I like that idea better than voting low value scripted content. I personally don't see how some of the battle of the week posts are any different than an Actifit post. It's all kind of trash in my mind. I don't typically do much Splinterlands content, but I have in the past. Given the possibility of an upvote will I probably try to do a post in the future? Sure. Will it be a regular thing though? Probably not.
Me either. I think they should use the power to upvote content that helps the game and the community, rather than just to burn it for curation.
I think you should. Regular or not, it helps to have people who are interested in more than just maximizing their game earnings.
