Yes it is clearly abusive they don't even take time to write anything valuable even if i advocate to vote for ourselves 33% of our voting power, i disagree with their behaviour.
I am sure they are reading your post so please take into consideration the fact that you don't have to go short term full exploitative strategy, your funds are locked for 13 weeks minimum, you have to help the platform adoption rate to grow aswell, i am sure you don't want the adoption rate to fall and steem price with it while you wait for your weekly powerdown in panic dump mode.
If SBD price increase is organic you will have time to profit from it, simply vote for youselves 33% of your voting power ( 3 vote a day) and vote for contents creators to help adoption growth.
I also advice you to help new steemit users with a warm welcome, happy users do free advertising for the platform.

If SBD price is a short term PnD then you will not have a lot of time to profit anyway it doesn't represent a good ROI% compared to your stack.

Think long term guys!
