I heard a rumor that ecency is going to phase out points for upvotes , hey that's not cool I bought some also I think that would push lots of people away from ecency the points is a big selling point

It is not a rumor. Points were used to place posts into a que where they were reviewed for curation. Now Ecency curators will give out votes without needing to use Points. You will still receive Ecency votes, only the method will change.
There will be new uses announced soon for using Points. Ecency is growing bigger and better!
Great news!
Right on I hope it will be better and looking forward to seeing how they will be used !BBH

Ouch, it means soon we can't use points to upvote our posts anymore? Ecency doesn't always upvote posts (I rarely get any even if I've been using this mainly for a long time), other curators are biased or prefer to upvote newbies for retention and now upvoting via ecency points will be taken away too? 😥
I only hope the new uses will be much better then. Still this is sad to hear.
Ah damn I like dropping bigger votes on people than my hp allows!
I know it was really useful for the HOC 🥲 !BBH

Keep boosting! It is still working while devs get the new boost+ methods put in place.
Is there a post where they talked about what the changes will be?
Good Karma talked a bit about his ideas for changes in the interview on HHHLive last week. One change will be the ability to use Points to purchase Ecency Delegations. If you want to help out a friend send them Points!
I think people are against buying votes, so I'm not surprised. Rewards need to be earned. They say there will be some other use for points.
People who thought Points were used to buy votes never took the time to understand how Points were being used. https://ecency.com/hive-125125/@ecency/myth-of-boosting
I mean honestly it's pretty silly there's no way to stop people from buying votes you can only make it harder !BBH

Such a bummer. But let's see what new features they will present
I was hoping they would do a 1-1 token drop, giving people an Ecency token for the amount of points they held
