Whaleshares is not a vote buying scheme. I dont sell ANY whaleshares. A small number of my Beyondbits may be purchased though.
BUT if people have problems with Vote Buying (aka advertising), then they should NOT ever support steem. What exactly do you think people are doing when they BUY SP?
They are BUYING VOTING POWER. Right? :)
Why will people ever buy SP if they cannot use it to upvote content and also make money at the same time?
I don't mean to sound mean when I say this but people realllllly need to understand this for the platform to work.
I buy SP and when I spent money to buy it, I dont think it is morally right for anyone to dictate to me how I should use it.
It is part of the system.
