This is a very interesting response.

So let me get this straight.

1. Because I have a primary focus for a curation project that I don't vote on good content and it is discriminatory?

2. Because of who my delegation comes from you assume that it is pre-minted stake. Jacob bought a lot of his bp to help build the price in the first year. And should that sit idle while he is working on other projects?

3. You also assume that I haven't bought any blurt also which you are wrong about.

4. Just because I have a curation focus and project which happens to help a lot of new and developing content creators my vote has been spread far and wide. I created my own project and my own direction no one tells me what to do. It comes from an interest base in what I want to read about and also a connection to my real world community. Any post with a focus on Africa that is original and interesting will get a vote no matter where the poster comes from or their color. I actually find a lot of bad and fake content that is voted on by other projects and I help to bring that forward and address it.

5. Putting a brand to my curation has helped create connection and recognition which has made for more interactivity and connectives which is what this is all about. Call it spam if you want we can always debate the merit of that. I also do not self upvote my comments or ask people to vote for them.

6. So as someone who creates quality original content with my posts just because of who votes for me I should live in shame now?

You know I really understand much of what you talk about in terms of the problems with this community and I agree with a lot of it, but not everyone who is voted for by the foundation automatically someone who should be shamed by those with your point of view.

I have not been here since the beginning I have been here since April 2020. Up until the last month and a half I spent countless hours each day curating and posting original content. Just because now I have a fresh family and managing a beach resort full time and my BP got close to 100% I am not doing a good job? Guess what my BP gets close to 100% almost everyday and then I vote again down to at least 80% that is a pretty poor judgement based upon what time you may have checked you bp.

You can even check the stats and look at facts if you wish:
13162 Votes on 1067 different authors, account has 13162 votes in total.

You can be upset at how blurt is going but it does not mean you need to lash out at other people working in it as well. I did not beg for my delegation I got it because my efforts were noticed when I started and my sense of community here.
