I have long been an advocate for @steembasicincome, giving away many shares and delegating some SP to them. I love that we can support others while also growing our own account - everybody wins!
Recently I (along with many others) have receieved downvotes for being part of SBI! Sad, sad, sad! There is nothing wrong with this project, and all it does is give small upvotes on a regular basis - I doubt anyone has been to trending from an SBI upvote! It gives incentives for people to generate good content - I have sponsored many people during my time here.
All the downvotes are doing is showing how ignorant some people are. For the moment they all small and irrelevant, but I worry that more people could get sucked in and they could become significant.
Remember, loads of people have shares without even knowing and not by choice and they are also getting punished!
Resteem if you want to get the word out and stop this nonsense.
