Okay but you understand my point though.

If I created a copy of your hivesuite and told people to come use mine instead and I'd offer 10x bigger votes that's pretty dumb way to do things, no?

People need to go use apps because they want to, because they offer something fun and new/different (and you are offering new things as well as I've noticed on the snaps feed so that's good), but not because you're encouraging them with upvotes and potentially forcing/encouraging them to drop your footer links everywhere to get the votes. That's using the reward pool to push your own agenda while others are using it to reward content/authors or for things/projects that benefit hive as a whole.

I had the same issue with starkerz earlier upvoting a single comment to $1.80 just because they used that First Contact app. Don't try bribe people with votes to use your things excessively. Giving them rewards on posts is fine but when you start doing it over multiple comments, barely pushing them past the dust threshold just so your footer is visible in as many posts as possible at the top of the comment section is shady, annoying and obvious what you're trying to do, so please don't.
