it is very related as you have it doing the same thing you do.

this isn't "my way", downvote mana was quite literally introduced to fight off vote buying and other forms of abuse, it's not just for the usual hivewatcher scope.

You devalue curation and the thing that makes hive unique by buying votes, it's a literal attack on the chain and how distribution of stake is meant to be handled. If you just want consistent returns no matter what you post or if anyone consumes the content go to any of the other PoS or DPoS chains, doing it here just makes those who still try to use curation the way it is meant to be used lose out on returns cause of these schemes you're involved in, and that's not just you but everyone participating in these from buyers/delegators to the voters and sellers.
