RE: Time To Wake Up and Fix Steem's Voting Problem
Vote selling can be abused for sure. But it won't if you develop good role models of many selfless people. Advertising is not going away. Since there are many that wants to get in front of peoples eyes so they will find a way to do it. It's great that people take action when something seem unfair. We will be seeing a lot of that in the future since everything is now more transparent and we can see what is going on.

If vote selling were simply advertising, I would have no problem with it but it's a bit more nuanced than that.
I like @freebornangel's idea for people declining rewards if it is just promotion or advertising (it was on Discord). He also mentioned a burn bot which I think would be an interesting idea.
We know it won't happen though. People aren't merely interested in advertising but also maximizing SP accumulation as stated in the OP.
Never understood the point with decline rewards. An ecosystem need people both being able to give and receive. Vote selling is clearly advertising. What else would it be? I like to hear nuanced ideas more in depth.
