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!
In regards to OCD upvotes, we will solely vote autors who are delegating to @ocdb.
The vote strength is mainly going to depend on how much delegation they've sent our way.
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.
