RE: Donate to the Utopian Colony IndieGogo & Get Daily Auto-Votes for 1 Month! [5 Spots - New Donations Only]
I love utopian. It's the best project on Steem in my mind.
However I would hate to see the pay for vote philosophy emerging from this great community.
Upvotes should be used solely to reward good content (including software), not to reward individual donations.
That's my belief anyway.

On a fundamental level, I definitely agree with you.
My goal is to create an additional incentive to get people to donate and Autovoting has become a fairly accepted part of the Steem ecosystem at this point.
IMO, you can't really blame people for that, since content discovery is simply not too great at the moment in this current system.
You did get me thinking and I've added a disclaimer to my post, stating that I have the right to reject accounts if they engage in any sort of spam posting.
Cool.
Of course a practice that's generally accepted on the blockchain doesn't mean it's a good practice.
Thanks for considering my comment.
No problem, I don't mind criticism and your comment was completely fair.
I do wish there was a system in place for good content to get discovered organically. I'd be the first one to completely drop the automatic voting if that were the case.
