Needed to be said. Also, I hate to say it but what assurance do we have that the funds will be used as stated.
Anything less than 100% accountability / assurance is not enough for me. Perhaps, someone should program am audit of the potato.
Not that I don't necessarily trust TCD but the community has been burned too many times.
Trying to remember the name of that bid bot owner that ran off w funds way back when.. on the tip of my tongue. 🤔
I dont think it would be too hard to check the burn. They have conversions running in their wallets. Easily checked on Steempeak.
Im mostly concerned with them taking over the trending. Theres awesome stuff on Steem to read, articles, photography, music.
We dont need 5 shitposts about burning STEEM trending.
I just followed the trail to @sbd.bank. Not sure if they have some sort of profit sharing set up but it appears the sbdpotato funds are being used to sell delegations for a profit, apparently.
Not sure how I feel about it atm
Trending is am issue for sure but I tend to be more focused on overall distribution of the reward pool and for what.
help by flagging sbd potatoe with us!
Hey I didn't want to start out swinging so to speak. Glad that thecryptodrive took our feedback and made changes and see you noticed that too!
But for all I know, Coininstant's downvotes may have been catalyst in part. 😉

My thoughts too. Also, SBD aka Aggroed uses these posts to promote Steemvoter which is an autovoter services that in turn upvotes crap content and uses the peoples voting power kind of like the steemengineteam that was caught up in the botnet fiasco. In the end, these guys all benefit with the circle jerk curation. All of these votes could be going to supporting minnows and actually keep some retention which would fix STEEM Organically! They can't manipulate the market forfever and in the end they are making things worse.
That's just the thing. They could have at least put curated content (from whatever curation guild) in their ridiculous burn posts to showcase some of the stuff on the chain.
What's gonna happen is when they fall out of use like @steemengineteam, they are just gonna vote farm like it.
The only thing they have right now is that they are initiatives run by top witnesses, and we take their "words" for it.
...just not for themselves, that's the problem. The only way to fix the problem is to take away auto voter. Sure they can still vote all their bodies but they'll have to do it personally.
Autovoting can only be taken from those that can't write scripts,...
What that means I have no idea.....
You can't stop coders from automating repetitive processes.
So you saying that can't eliminate autovoting by removing it during an hf?
Yes, the only people impacted will be those that can't code their own bot.
Autovoting is not the problem, autovoting crap is the problem.
You should downvote the autovoters that vote crap.
Maybe they will stop.
what the heck .autovoter
It's the new year so I'll give you a reprieve for a bit.....but...
