It's not the burning of tokens that is the problem/issue.
It's the coercive nature of it. 'if you don't do this, then I won't give you that'...
(people naturally hate coercion and it acts, psychologically, as a disincentive to produce the very products that would attract more users...hmmm...).
I do like how Opidia is not asking creators to burn rewards , she as a curator only burns the rewards of these daily posts she makes . She still upvotes posts that do not burn . Fair and honest to me .
