Firstly please don’t tell me how to use my personal vote, incase you didn’t realise I am 100% pro Ukraine and sympathise with their people, I honestly don’t care what you vote and will not tell you what to support. Because I vote something as myself doesn’t mean Blurt as a whole supports it. I have previously instructed our team to vote as neutral as possible and to not promote or support Upvu either.
Regarding Yakubenku, I was informed by our team that she is doing some good stuff regarding promoting Blurt and the fact she has a large Instagram following so I voted accordingly, if I was informer about anyone else’s posts I would have voted them as well.
I already responded to @ctime, there really isn’t much we can do about Upvu, there really aren’t many available devs that can code graphene. we are currently looking at removing proxy voting so Upvu can’t amass such power as he did on Steem and perhaps changes in voting where there isn’t 30x leverage on witness votes.
We are also looking into moving codebase where we can have more development resources.
Also please can you enlighten me what is the issue with the Ukraine flag, I really don’t get it, I see businesses everyone putting it up in support, here is an example of a 3dmodelling site https://cgtrader.com they have a support Ukraine section and certain items purchased give donations as well.

Hey guys, what do you think about asking upvu to sponsor good content with two or three full votes a day? They would just follow with their votes accounts like r2cornell, visualblock, onchain-curator and language orientated curation projects
If they agreed to it, even I would accept their existence on Blurt
I think that asking is always a good path forward. While I will respect their right of refusal, approaching them with respect and asking them to use their service to make the community stronger may be something they find appealing.
And then someone else with a bunch of money comes along and says they're going to do the same thing, unless you cut them a personal deal too?
No, such an arrangement would set the standard. You want to invest big money in Blurt and earn 10 - 25% more than other curators? We welcome you as long as you support curation groups (at the moment we probably have more of them than Hive lol)
All these ideas are interesting. I agree we have to find compromises that keeps big investors and bloggers happy not just one or the other.
I really started a shit storm didn't I @ctime! hahaha oooops. But I'm fully of the conclusion that all this discussion is good for everyone when all said and done.
Please have a look at my final thoughts and conclusion on these maters here...

I myself would like to see that and would like to see more great content been noticed especially in the travel sectors a lot of that seems to just go un-noticed.
And would just like to thank you @ctime for the great work you are doing.

I actually don't see support from blurt helping @georgetachia to take blurt to the top in Kano state as far as I can tell, take a look at his current page
This state has the potential to move to blurt to ahead also, i think you should take him more seriously, thank you @megadrive
