There's some value that can be had in reposts with declined/forfeited rewards, I don't deny that. There'd be even more said value and less time wasted if we had front-ends that generated adrevenue they'd share with authors/consumers. It's just not something we should accept for the way hive rewards work to be allowed.
If you find other reposts feel free to alert us in our discord and we'll look into it. I don't think people accept reposts to be rewarded in general, could be they just didn't read your post (the bigger voters) or that last part, when I first checked it out I thought that part had been edited in but didn't make much sense for me to check if you had edited it in after posting/the big voters had cast their votes cause it wouldn't have changed much.
