I remember @savvytester asking me to remove my votes on most Hive Proposals about 2 days ago, that I forgot until I saw your reply to their comment on #HiveEngage. 🤯

I still like to use the #Ecency frontend despite all its technical problems, but the ~400 HBD being asked per day and still no major bug fixes (and new bugs appearing roughly every month) seems high enough, especially with the price of the HIVE token being near its all-time low (ATL). 💸 The same goes with #PeakD and other popular Hive frontends, and projects such as #HiveKeychain and #HiveBuzz. 🤯 PeakD and Hive Keychain are good Hive apps, but each separately asking for at least 600 HBD seems a lot. 💸 We (including @savvytester) have been talking about good Hive apps deserving funding after they become available for public use and are FOSS. 🧘‍♂️ A Hive app that finally releases an updated FOSS reproducible build (for Android and Linux) however would make me vote again for their proposal even if they ask for a lot of funding in return. 😎

I literally just removed my votes on all Hive Proposals, except the Return Proposal and the other Proposal you mentioned which will burn 10,000 HBD every 3 days by sending them all to the null account if passed. 🤔 I would still try to keep my Hive Witness Votes at 30, with priority for those below the Top 20. 😏

There might be another (very) !WILD proposal (soon) in the future, which when passed will literally empty all the HBD in the DHF in just a day. 🤯🤓 A less "wild" proposal would be what @savvytester mentioned on the parent comment on your reply there, which is to use the DHF to buy and burn HBD after careful planning. 😏

I didn't expect to make a long comment such as this (which I haven't done in several months). 🤯 You (and a few others who may read this comment) may say that this comment deserves its own post, but some might criticize this (and get flagged, !HOPEfully not). 🤯
