Look Hive account@zynaf, I know you might not be aware because this was before your time but before the support of whales in this competition we all became good friends. Every week we would meet up and share all things food mostly for the fun of it. We would vote at the end who we wanted to award that week and all of us had fun, laughing and supporting each other. When people are called out from all over the platform to only cast a vote for someone they know but have no other ties to the competition otherwise, it takes the community sharing and supporting out. The point of Hive account@foodfightfriday is to get to know each other and potentially follow and support each other’s other postings. If everyone called random people to vote for themselves then the incentive to engage with each other wouldn’t exist. Maybe this is my way of suggesting to you that you don’t need to do that but rather get to know everyone in the competition and support that way… I swear it’s much more rewarding than just winning. Winning is only second fiddle to friendships that could be made with the really cool people of this initiative.
