Using votes to "support" projects with automated posts is generally not okay, I've gone out of my way to make sure POSH is non-profit, even created the liquidation account @nomnomnomnom as to not take a fee because @reward.app does (1%). Unless there's similar projects that not only are they non-profit but support hive as a whole, like posh allows registering of link-shares from most of the big front-ends that people generally use and quite literally is meant to bring in traffic and consumers to our posts that are generally overrewarded since inflation has to go somewhere. You can't be like "I'm gonna vote this because I wanna support this no-effort automated post because I wanna support project" if there's only a set amount of people that benefit from a specific token or get curated only if they delegate your way, etc, it has to be something that benefits stakeholders as a whole of our main layer 1 token since that's the funding/inflation you are driving towards them.

POSH is still small and growing, eventually I'd love if it would cease these funding mechanism and just did a proposal but for now I believe the pros outweigh the cons of taking rewards from the author reward pool, if people disagree they can downvote the posts. Personally I don't know many other projects that work the same way so voting such posts would not be okay in my book and that's why I usually get a bit disappointed when people point at posh and go "well they're doing it too", I don't want it to be used as an example to do things the community would find unacceptable use of votes the way some have been doing with all these delegate4vote selfvoting schemes or buy our token 4 votes voteselling schemes that have increased in activity lately just cause some did it and weren't countered with downvotes by the community.
