Hey, could you not actively engage in votetrading with other accounts? Some of them on your roster are just posting low effort posts of 1 pic and little text and earning max post reward ROI that way as if they were selfvoting 10x per day. Surely you must understand how that goes against what curation is there for and if everyone did the same there would be no voting power left for newcomers and users putting in a lot of work and effort into their posts.

Your posts seem decent but being in this votetrading circle still makes it unfair. If you don't have the time to actively look out for posts to curate or look for new users to follow to curate who post about stuff that interests you I'd recommend following curation trails on hive.vote or delegation to curation projects that return hive to you but use your stake wisely.

There's nothing wrong with voting on friends but if it is constant and on low effort quality and not sharing your votes with anyone else then you're just maximizing ROI (especially if they vote you back in exchange) while riding on the backs of others earning less ROI but curating well so this platform's userbase grows and new users are welcomed properly and stick around to find out what else they can do on Hive.
