I get the part where HW has bad PR when it comes to verifications. Not going to argue there. The argument was do we need verifications or not? It doesn't matter whether they post cross platform, I just want to know if the person I am voting for is the same person on the other side reposting content. For those users who refused to opt in, would that mean they get less votes? Nah, they would still get curated by unsuspecting users as it happens and will be common when the platform gets further growth. Hive account@eloy-drawing refused further communications when they knew I was contacting the real one on instagram. The eloy case is a classic user that steals content from an unsuspecting creator. They would less likely try to opt in for verification but still get rogue votes while they continue their streak.
