Yes, there are people that game the system. But @josephsavage will remove those accounts from @steembasicincome if you let him know. Like the rest of Steem, it is hard for them to cover the whole ground!

After all, I see notable curation projects get it wrong as well in the same way, but it doesn't mean that the whole project is terrible! Downvoting the bad posts is logical and rational, attacking the project and sponsors is not so much..

PS, for the shit posts, that would be a useful case for downvoting... Hitting the sponsors is not really the way forward on that problem!

Pps, also there is the idea of the giving.. The long term support is good for retention.
