I don't like this.
I think voting in steem is designed badly. The incentive is so that bad behavior gets incentivized. Instead of creating a work around one needs to simply fix voting.
Voting is a right that was earned through the acquisition of steem power. As a result people should be able to vote on anything they like. But today you must either vote on what others like at the right time, or you will be financially pusnished.
its just bad design, fix that, don't create work arounds.
