Hive = Votes

okay but votes don't always equal curation, this could be said about autovoting, blind voting and vote trading and there's issues with all of them to a certain degree. The bigger issue is however vote buying, you offer something that's not the content you've produced, the effort you've put into the chain or other "labor" related value to a service/stakeholder/account to get them to give you a vote. You're getting less than 50% rewards from that vote because you paid for it with something else that had value hive/tokens and that voter gets more than 50% of the vote so he's now earning more than other stakeholders and the author may not have gotten the vote in the first place had they not paid for it - win-win for those 2 parties and lose-lose for others.
