it's one of our ways of increasing the STEEM pool that goes to the community

Being on STEEM for so long and still having such a lack of knowledge pains me.
Let me explain it to you @cryptopie.
If you decline the payment the STEEM pool does not go to the community as @steemslotgames said.
It is burned and lost. Author and curators won’t get a reward.
@steemslotgames should rather mark the @null, @sbdpotato or @steem.dao as beneficiary then the sentence they wrote would be correct.
@steemslotgames stop trying to make a fool of people.
Please don’t spread bad info to people and @cryptopie has it right.
