My thoughts too. Also, SBD aka Aggroed uses these posts to promote Steemvoter which is an autovoter services that in turn upvotes crap content and uses the peoples voting power kind of like the steemengineteam that was caught up in the botnet fiasco. In the end, these guys all benefit with the circle jerk curation. All of these votes could be going to supporting minnows and actually keep some retention which would fix STEEM Organically! They can't manipulate the market forfever and in the end they are making things worse.
