Like I mentioned, compare the total HP of the existing old guard to the total HP of delegation accounts. The delegations accounts are a drop in the bucket in comparison. Old accounts upvoting each other depletes the supply far more than these delegation projects.
And I will tell you that I have had several people message me about my post in Discord. I don't think you realize that you actually intimidate people due to your threats of downvoting them. It's not as big of an impact for me, and I actually post content for the content, but for smaller users, a single downvote from you can wipe them out completely. What's their incentive to write against you?
And considering the old guard tends to earn $30 - $50 per post consistently, wiping out people who earn pennies, even if they're all from delegation projects, is a pretty cruel concept. This is very imbalanced, and I understand why people are scared of disagreeing.
Anyway, I think it would be best if agreed to disagree on this topic. While I have to be openminded because this may change in the future, for the time being, I still see these projects as beneficial. For now, I do plan to continue to use them in a manner that's beneficial to supporting newer users, particularly those who create great content. After all, isn't that we're aiming to do: support quality content?
