Hi haejin, I don't think we've ever talked before

I've always been living in your shadow for the past year and a half; try as I might, was never quite able to attain the recognition of top self voter on the platform 😢.

I'm reaching out to you because I believe under the new economic incentives, there's no longer a need to protect our investment with this type of self voting. Before, not doing so just meant we'd be losing stake to the majority of active SP participating in vote selling, self voting or the like. But now that curation is 50%, and there are a decent amount of free downvotes, perhaps it would be best if we all voted honestly and for the first time gave content discovery and proof of brain a real chance?

Along with many other larger stakeholders, I myself have since been curating 100% honestly. My farm accounts have not been active for over 20 days. The bid bots here are feeling the heat, some are pivoting to curation, others are shutting down shop.

Your posts have been drawing considerable attention. Unlike previously, with free downvotes floating around, there's little reason for the downvotes to stop. So at this point you're actually making considerably less than if you were just to curate on good content here. Would you consider giving it a go?

I think I could speak for most (likely not all) of the other larger stakholders that if you would play it fairly from this point on, everything in the past is water under the bridge and it's a clean slate for everyone. We all just move forward doing our best to ensure that Steem has the best chance to succeed and not undermine proof of brain.

Have a look around this place, new life is budding for the first time in 2 years. Trending is no longer bid botted trash. We finally have a chance at completely turning this place around.

As intelligent investors we don't fight a futile battle when the economic incentives were punishing honest actors the most. But now, this is no longer the case. Join me and many others to play our important part in restoring honest voting as the dominant behavior on here.

Cheers,
