I am asking a vote on a subject and I would like to see and hear the communities words on it.
Should the foundation try to get https://blurt.blog/bitcoin/@cryptofinally/bitcoin-sorority-investing-for-beginners-getting-started-in-crypto
To 5000 blurt all because of who she is?
This is being done with curation accounts ment to vote niche topics voting ONE person.
Or do you think that this post should have its rewards removed from the curation accounts that were used to vote it.?

I already voiced my opinion in discord but, I do not think it sets a good trend to try and get a HUGE reward just for the popularity of a person. Sure they make good content, but how engaged are they/will they be or this community platform?
What type of curation are they supporting by upvoting this?
Seems like fan boy actions IMO. Not great for the look of our brand.
Same shit diff flavor. I would like to expect more from Blurt.
I think curation accounts should stay on topic. I'm ok with promoting a piece of content to get it trending for whatever reason, but not using curation accounts that are off topic.
I have nothing against her. She deserves a warm welcome like everybody else. So everybody who comes onboard should get the same thing. What about those people who properly "introduceyourself" or people who actually put time and effort into this platform?
Otherwise it is just a vote stacking abuse, COAL, red card or something. blurtmob has 10 million BP, regular curation account is only 500k BP and some curators get in trouble for few bucks.
This doesn't look good from a regular user's point of view.
Exactly! It's almost the equivalent of when an employee working for a company for a long time and got very good at his job, and when it comes time to give a promotion, the boss gives the promotion to some new guy that just started.
That happens all the time 😂😂😂
That was my thought when she only cross-posted her content with no word about blurt at all.
The theme for a long time now, is favouritism.
So many issues of past experiments have boiled down to cartel, collusive behaviour which results in highly mismatched reward/value. It is apparently no different here.
As I opined in her post, given all the love and support received, she has not engaged -at all- and has historically on other platforms never reciprocated either.
If she signalled publicly that she was now on Blurt, and supporting the platform, advertising, shilling etc. Then perhaps an outsized reward might be of value, but as it stands, it is just an attenuation of the kind of entitled behaviour that exists on this platform - "Foundation, give me blurt for minimal work whilst cross posting everywhere"
While I think the onus is on the community to decide, the foundation has decided to become chief distributors of the reward pool, which all but encourages zero investment from other large players. This is the beginning of the death spiral.
Comparatively speaking (because I also don't believe that other free-loading, zero risk contributors should be receiving the rewards that they are getting), it is unfair to other contributors who now see the ugly side of nepotism and favouritism shining through as desperation to get Blurt in the public eye - with a proven milking e-thot that doesn't actually care no less - has come at the behest of other honest participants who won't ever get the same kind of attention despite making much larger and significant contributions.
Okay, it was a welcome vote, but now the effects should be measured. In general, you should not sell yourself too cheaply.
If people want to vote for that post with their personal account, then it's fine, but I don't think it's fine to vote it with curation accounts for which the post is off-topic.
I'm not too thrilled to see curation accounts that are meant for the curation of posts related to art, music, food, et cetera being used to upvote a post that has nothing to do with any of those topics.
I'm actually kind of put-off by those people flouting the rules and going against their principles just for the sake of "fan-boying" as @greenhouseradio so well put it.
Anyway, I could say much more about the topic, but I doubt I'll change anyone's mind.
At this point, I think it would look just as bad to remove the votes as it did to cast them in the first place.
Agreed, If people use their own stake that is one thing but to vote with curation should have never happened when people are trying to fight that spam.
I guess you are right about removing the votes guess this should just be a lesson to the "foundation".
I do not see the curation being used in good ways anymore.
The best we can hope for is to be heard here. If thee accounts want to operate in a different way than expected it will be apparent. NO to removing rewards, we just take the opportunity to share our POV.
So first of all , i really don't have anything against her. If she is new she should receive a warm welcome I understand.
But does a warm welcome means every Curator abuse their tag and vote for her...?
The answer is No , it is not a condition for a warm welcome to make her post reach 5000BP.
Also I think if we really want to welcome her than the Better way was to welcome her by commenting on her post and upvoting from a normal account.
there are two things one is Number of upvotes and other is Total BP earned.
I think instead of focusing on the 5000 BP , everyone should have focused on number of upvotes and comments irrespective of BP earned by the post.
and the thing is that she hasn't used any of the tags but even country tag of blurtbd voted to her post , that is simply illogical.
Again , It is only my opinion i.e what i think is right and should have been done.
I don't want to offend anyone.
But yes surely people who work hard posting daily on blurt earn around 5000BP a month so it is really Injustice to them.
just because they don't have enough followers , it doesn't mean their content should not be supported.
Thank You.
I have always been told that your tag should be related to your post. Sorry but something else is going on here ..There is a separate curator for each post. I am a middle clas s job working bachelor and I get a little time every day for blurt.And what I am seeing is that those curators have also voted on that girl's post, which makes no sense. 🤔🤔🤔
I beleive there are so many other people who are working so hard, and when they joined in this platform I didn't see they are welcomed in this way!!! This is very funny kind of thing for me! Everyone should use their power properly.
