Seeing the recent trends of projects offering votes to whoever delegates to them or buys up their tokens and this being an acceptable activity I figured it's time to adapt!
Here's some changes planned from Monday forward!
The vote strength is mainly going to depend on how much delegation they've sent our way.In regards to OCD upvotes, we will solely vote autors who are delegating to @ocdb.
For non-authors, we'll be checking if we can get them to comment here and there to cast votes their way.
For newcomers, we'll be asking them if they plan on delegating to us before casting our votes, once we receive confirmation in writing on our immutable blockchain, we'll go ahead and give them a small vote for a trial period to see if they follow through with the delegation.
OCD does currently not have a token but we plan on creating one and airdropping 90% to the founder and curators who've been in the project for at least 5 years (and if they're delegating to @ocdb). 10% will go to current delegators.
For POSH, we will reduce the rewards given to sharers bringing traffic to our ecosystem by about 99%. We will instead bring back the GOSH token and upvote users sharing their posts in snaps, threads, waves and moments along with comments on any posts on hive with a limit to only 10 votes per day for the same link shared.
For Zing, we will start voting for any content and focus on delegators mainly. In an effort to attract more funding to create the game it is crucial to grow our delegations and reward our token holders. This means that anyone holding zing tokens will receive votes from us based on their holdings compared to the total supply, if you also delegate HP you get a bonus multiplier!
We understand that these changes aren't that innovative and many have already beat us to market with them, so we took some time and really brainstormed on how we could state of the art this further and I believe you're going to really like our idea!
Utilizing our downvote mana.
All the projects mentioned above are now going to start spending their downvote mana on stakeholders who aren't supporting any of our projects.
We will start off with gentle "reminders" of 0.1% downvotes and automated comments following them mentioning that they might want to undelegate other projects and consider us instead. If these comments remain ignored or delegation updates to our projects remain unchanged we will increase the downvote strength by 0.1% every 5 days (undelegation period) for a total of [pending post rewards by day 6 of post age].
Forfeiting author rewards of this post to promote (warn) as many users as possible.

Early April Fool's post so it'd be unexpected, I wish most of what I wrote was a joke and didn't actually happen on chain however.
Shouldn´t the vote strength be based on quality of content, not on the amount of delegation? You spoke so much recently about indirect vote buying, but isn´t ocdb just doing that?
I am also writing a post in German about this habit, so I want to get a better understanding of what is acceptable and what not.
PS: Oh, saw too late that it was an April´s joke. Well done!
I think you are going to have a hard time competing with my $rugpull token Acid. We are about to release the roadmap.
Clearly details what we are about too.
People who stake $rugpull token will be able to claim one ceviche a month from my cousin's corner stand here in town. (no drinks included).
Hive to the moon bro!!
Hahahaha Meno 💪💪💪💪 rug pull
Lol
Wow, I love the 4th step of the roadmap, think I'll rug then!
Love Lorem Ipsum Dolor. WAGMI.
I read the first paragraph and concluded you got hacked 😂. Like no way Acidyo will do something like this because I have read you one time speak against such practices. Then I rushed to the comment section... Thank goodness 😂
I'm not sure that's enough. You should probably start downvoting anyone who brings traffic to our ecosystem because it will ruin the tightly-knit atmosphere that we have going on.
:D don't let conspiracy theoriests read this one
This is a nice one. I'm still delegating to zing, and waiting patiently for the game to launch. Its taking quite long though.
You got me with the April fool message. Haha. I thought i would see a holozing update. Happy new month.
The first stanza has already given you away, friend. You're one of the few who keep their head on straight here, followed by the best curation and onboarding project. The rest looks like something “lucrative” AKA Leo.voter of course
Lol, I just wanted to write if that still has anything to do with supporting 'quality content'; good that I stopped myself on time writing anything stupid. :D
I had two questions in my mind while reading it.
You got me haha
I'm confused, is this real? I guess it is because I already got a negative vote on my last post :(
Can someone help me understand what I should do to stop this from happening?
Not real, downvotes are (should be normal), nothing to worry about as it was just a small one, just keep doing your thing!
Was looking forward to hearing some news about POSH 😿
😅
Oh no....I need to quick make a massive delegation to OCD...hehe
Thank you for the smiles @acidyo.....
Happy April Fool's Day!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The way this flips expectations at the end is just too much man, I didn't see this coming I swear 🤣🤣🤣. I'm shocked how deep someone can April fool me. I think if I was reading this on April 1st maybe I would have scrolled down to see. .
Good one good one good one. You got me deep, I hope no one reads my comment before reading the blog so they'll get caught too 🤣🤣🤣
Ya I better mute you for a while
Probably a good idea 🤣🤣
But please don't forget to unmute me Mr Acidyo
Hi
Did I understand correctly that you will downvote anyone who has not delegated a portion of their steak to you? Or only those who have delegated but not to you?
yes i love steak
Should this be taken as a veiled threat?
you may wanna read the text behind the spoiler command at the end of the post
Yeah, you got me.
On March 30, I wasn't ready for the April Fool's jokes)))))
😂
May I ask what the reason is for the train of downvoters following you?
vealed only
I'll try to test your impartiality with my humble contribution.
You should have waited 24 hours more, few hours before April
but then everyone would expect it!
In Argentina we don't have a day to do this kind of thing, but luckily I'm somewhat aware of international calendars (although I almost believe it).
:D
Well done sir. You got me. lol
Haha I just had a feeling thatbthis had to be a joke, but for a while I thought that this might cause some upset people 😅
April or not, perhaps others will find a business opportunity in the downvote idea!
Can anyone bring President Trump here on Hive?
Haha, I knew! 😂
I checked my calendar again to see if its 1st April. So you made this post one day before but reading this is fun. 😂😂
I think I got to about the 4th sentence before the "Wait a minute, what is the date?" set in...
I feel I've been rickrolled for some reason
lmao not your style unless a sorcery happened but will reblog to scare others 🤣
I just delegated 100% of my stake!
Is it still going to limit the votes to 2 per week? Because it would not be fair to invest in a project that will still limit the number of publications supported.
Will the vote per publication be guaranteed? Or even if it is delegated, you may not be supported?
I think you missed the point of the post
Plus or minus two days... with a grain of salt this time of the year
LFG.
damn, can't downvote myself @peakd
Haha, if this start happening, Hive will turn to something else in few months time but then, it's just an April fool. That came quite early and unexpected!😄
Well I'm glad I figured out it was a joke before posting the last comment I wrote..
On this side of the world there is no April Fool's Day, at least not at this time of the year, so...

Going to delegate 20 HP to you to receive my daily votes worth $0.0002. Finally, some quality innovation in OCD.
I knew this couldn't be real 😮 started reading this and thought... WTF hapoened. People should be happy you are not doing all of that shit and care about communities and Hivians.
What if there was a limit on delegation amount of say, 50% for an account. But it can delegate all if also the owner of the delegated (using owner keys) account?
:D
So if an account has 100, they can delegate 50 wherever they want.
But they can only delegate the other 50 to accounts they have the owner keys for. I am guessing the "curation" services won't give out their owner keys, so the max they can delegate out is 50% of the stake. Then, if they want to earn on 50% of their stake, they have to curate themselves/ follow a vote etc.
I love this update, because I do everything you say here, I think it's spectacular.

Hahahaha in my country April Fool's Day is December 28th, hahahaha I had already read your previous posts and seen your YouTube videos.
This one completely didn't make sense to me, especially after what you've been saying in the video just a few days ago. I was about to translate this post, thinking that one of us have substantial brain damage but then some additional explanation have been provided which fully cleared my suspicion.
I knew it was a joke a few sentences in (or less) 😂 Are people actually downvoting those who refuse to support them with delegations or token purchases?!?!
Haha thankfully no, not yet at least.
I hope it never gets to that point...
Bro 😂!
I almost thought it was time for me to leave hive lol. So glad it's a joke but I get what you are trying to say. Feels good that you guys are not following their ways.
I was like WTF is happening😆 it got me haha
Right? It was unexpected because it was not April yet haha. Hm maybe I should try this on someone today 😈.
I'm glad there's still some normal people around!
Since I watched a couple of your recent YouTube videos I knew right away that this was a joke :)
:D
Oh my God, I almost believed it, thank goodness it was all a dream.
Lol i was asking myself if this is acidyo, thought you're being serious.
OMFGosh
It started out good, and by the end it was perfect! Brother Stalin, I praise you!
Spoiler does not work on ecency 😅
