I know we've been talking autovotes, abuse, and all that stuff for quite a lot lately.
So I figured, something I mentioned in a recent comment that we don't see much of on Hive, is to purposely forfeit some of those autovotes to certain accounts/projects/maybe even charities we think help the ecosystem if some of us some times don't have something amazing to post that day but may not wanna let the autovotes "go to waste" so to speak.
I also realize I'm often an easy target whenever I'm trying to point out to abuse or fight it off cause lately I have been posting more often and could use the rewards since I'm trying to help fund quite a big gaming project here on hive 
For whoever needs to hear it though, there are often times I don't post at all because I'm either too busy or don't really have anything good to say that day. To maximizers this may sound like crazy talk, but it's okay to just not make the most of your autovotes all the time, there's plenty of years left of hive inflation.
Omg, only posted thrice in ~3 weeks there, imagine all the Alpha Vial packs I could've bought had I shitposted daily!
A week's break? I surely deserve downvotes for overrewarded content just cause I'm posting more often now!
WTF was I thinking there? Small breaks are good? I could've easily gotten $200 in author rewards had I just repeated some older posts over and over in that week, I'm such a moron!
What is wrong with me?! Imagine all the stakeholders I could've lured into my project had I just kept posting daily about
Anyway, jokes aside, I know I do quite well on Hive generally and have had many opportunities to 5-10x my holdings had I done good trades instead of staying staked most of these years, but long term vision, right? Who knows when Hive stops dumping to let you buy it back cheaper, not really a risk I wanna take.
I'm sure I may also regret some of these days I've missed out on posting for real since I could be doing a lot of other cool things with the funds that don't directly benefit me personally but could help zing do better or the posh token. I do honestly think that keeping things in moderation while at the same time putting some respect behind how the hive are earned rather than looking at earning as much as possible at all cost is the best way to go long term. It may also be a reason why many of the abusers often hit a wall when they try to point out your flaws when they're called out on abuse. Does that make me the best person to fight abuse? Not really, I often lose my cool after a while and the constant back and forth does get to me over time, cannot recommend.
My point is, I think beneficiaries are quite a powerful tool and could do a lot of good if used well. I wish there'd be more authors on hive who also do well who'd do more with their rewards than just stack it for their own gain than to see who else who may not be in a good position as them could use it - and if that generally helps hive as a whole at the same time it'd be even more beneficial.
Hence this post today, aside from my own projects like 
Forfeiting most of the author rewards of this post towards
