That's how you swallow bullshit and think it tastes good.

Sometimes I still feel like I swallow bullshit, but it does not tastes good. It never tasted good.

There is an issue at the moment with one curator who has been abusing the stake of the curation account to self vote themselves a lot. Will this be dealt with, or ignored?

The only way to the "dealing with it" part properly is probably only the removal of the self-upvote function. Everyone could and would only upvote others. This blockchain would thrive. People would have to make communities, and support each other, instead of being selfish and greedy, and focusing only on their own posts. Because currently this is what the majority of the users are doing.

And this also explains the lack of real, human comments on the Hive blockchain. Nowadays the average number of comments per post is around 1-2, and most of those comments are bot comments.
