We called that vote selling, and we hardforked to stop it, except for the way they've done it since.
Before it was straight cash across the barrel head, pay once and get a vote, but now it is done less commercially.
Selling wholesale has replaced per vote selling, and a blind eye has been turned to it, because tptb want things this way.
Splinterlands still sells votes, and has all along.
Vote selling is bad because it disadvantages all of those that don't do it, too.
It's like curation gangs, the people providing the infrastructure make most of the money and everybody else, member or not, pays that cost.
Just one more of the many reasons that the price is in pit and our ranking has dropped from #3 to #412.
Tptb don't deny it, they just force it onto us, and there is nothing we can do but buy more hive and bide our time.
I think L2 tokens replaced Bid Bots. Bid bots was way before my time so I’m not sure how they even worked. I'm not the person that came up with this l2 token being a form of vote selling theory but it seems like a good one.
I was a bro holder before Ray rugged so I used to be ok with this behaviour. That's how bro worked. If you owned the token you would get upvoted.

I’m not sure spl used to do, I don’t think they do it today. I think their manual curation could be better but it’s not my place to criticize their curation efforts. They should be able to curate what they want. If something is getting curated that shouldn’t, then someone can downvote that post. I love spl and want them to be here. But I’m 1 stakeholder, what they do or don’t do is not up to me but everyone.
If I delegate someone HP and they paid me back some of the curation rewards I don't think it's that crazy.

Last year or early this year I ran into a cash on the barrelhead bidbot run by Guruasia on Hive. There's probably more of them too.

If you are talking about my anti abuse project I made a post about it before it started.
I do not think upvoting burn posts or HBD comments is scam. Marky is not the only one with burn posts.
