I think when they first came out with it, people were seeing it as a selfish thing for people to join, a new way to buy votes, I don't think they saw it as helping the voter at all. That is what I saw when they first came out with it, I get a reward, and the voter gots their reward. I think it is great, I looked back on my comments almost most 3 days worth, and I saw 14 $0.01 votes, that was 14 people that were going to lose out on a vote value, so even though I did not have much SBD saved I still sent it all in. So I don't look at them as paid for votes, more as "Rescued" votes. I think what @dustsweeper is doing is great, I hope they are able to maintain the momentum.
