Firstly I was confused about why you were specifically going against posts of your direct competitors. Thanks for clearing my doubt about it because you were thinking about roi only. Nobody will go against curated posts but since you guys are sitting at 4.5 M SP, you should be more careful about % of your upvote and use it more carefully. For example, do you really think following post deserved $39 upvote from ocdb and making it $67 by using your wise authority upvote?
