We all know about CEO of Steemit 
Hive account@ned delegating his SP to few Steemit users with a specific unknown agenda, we were all excited when Hive account@ned himself wanted to spread wealth. What ever intent he decided to delegate the SP with we respect it and no one better than him under current circumstances to take such decisions. However was the noble intention of Ned used wisely?
Most of us are even aware of what 
Hive account@paulag published with data analysis on Hive account@ned's delegation. Hive account@paulag's Post with data analysis can be found here
Can the Data Tell us Why Ned Undelegated so much Steem Power?
According to her findings 
Hive account@sweetsssj had given out the most in rewards, which was worth around $110k, atleast $30k more than second most payout by the delegated steemian.
Here is the data analysis by Hive account@paulag,
When our CEO has delegated with trust on few users we trust them as well, however Hive account@paulag's post was an eye opener and even this was fine as she presented her neutral findings as a business analyst.
Now even as we were still digesting few facts from these findings we have a user write to 
Hive account@voiceshares on the kind of content upvoted by Hive account@sweetsssj. Here we present that and we decide the community to take a call on what is right and what is wrong. We as Hive account@voiceshares can only share the revelations but not pass out any personal opinions.
Steemit User 
Hive account@agab started blogging 2 months ago and joined steemit in September,
Very first post of Hive account@agab was about Models, We saw no reference to Hive account@agab working in the industry but the very first post of Hive account@agab was upvoted by Hive account@sweetsssj.
[Beautiful Korean model] Jung Yun
Strange enough the very first post was upvoted by Hive account@sweetsssj.
Fair enough, a user has posted his first post and Hive account@sweetsssj has liked it. Let us not think weather that post deserved that payout for its content.
The comes the second post and the result was the same,
Strange coincidence, Hive account@sweetsssj upvotes the content of same user again, guess she liked the way Hive account@agab presented models from Asian countries by taking photos from their instagram account. I agree it takes a lot of effort.
What if I say Hive account@agab has posted a total of 47 posts on same lines, with similar titles and not one post has a para phrasing except for a instagram link to the model's account.
And better is Hive account@sweetsssj has upvoted 90% of the posts, let us just face it... it is not a coincidence anymore.
Now Hive account@agab has earned around 460 steem this way and Hive account@sweetsssj has been upvoting even the latest post which is 7 days old
Hive account@paulag made further analysis on how Hive account@sweetsssj's transaction saw a significant rise after the delegation and below shows the table for the same
Now we all know what is happening here, but what was the effect of this on community, on steemit and its users.
Lets leave a few questions for the community to answer
How is vote buying from bots any different from what Hive account@sweetsssj did to Hive account@agab?
Does this promote good quality content on the platform?
What if we focus more on bots and less on organic curation, what would be the result?
Does this leave a positive impact on community?
Is it time we rethink about who should be influencing the platform more?
Was Hive account@ned's trust broken?
Did Hive account@agab's work deserve the payout he recieved?
Is this the kind of content we would want to see on Steemit in abundance??
Is it justified anyone who can bid and buy upvotes can promote any content no matter how bad it is?
I invite few constructive comments and I would to see community get involved with the awareness we are trying to create. I am sure Hive account@ned would have done this with a positive intention, however people let him down. No one thinks bad for the community.
