and was told that our posts were effortless and worthless.

While I did say they were of low effort for the amount of rewards they were receiving I didn't say worthless. To reiterate, the biggest problem was that the main voter of these posts was one account who only voted on a few accounts.

Honestly it seems like you're trying to paint us in a bad light with our reasoning of our downvotes and to play the victim here. If that's your goal then I feel like I've wasted my time coming here and explaining my perspective.

I tried to explain to the person I talked to in Discord very hard the EIP and why only voting on a few accounts with most stake goes against it, the rest of the platform have understood it and adjusted their voting behavior to assist Steem and proof of brain while many in your community don't seem to have cared about it. Hope you understand at some point how that is not helping Steem and there's no justifications for how much Steem you've bought or at what price you've bought it, users need to understand that they can't be entitled for post rewards from the rewardpool as that should depend on genuine curation from as many different accounts as possible to enforce proof of brain.
