Hive and Hive-based games are one of my passions and I play and support almost all hive-based games and so I know CCD tokens because I play on Brobang and have accumulated many CCD tokens as game rewards and also because I love to support games I like.
I also used CCD tokens to receive a vote because I thought it was a service accepted on Hive because the vote is not automatic and also arrived a long time after sending the tokens because the cryptocompany read and viewed the posts before voting on them.
But I agree 100% that upvotes should always be non-guaranteed and non-automatic, so if from your research you saw that all requests were receiving a vote it is only fair that this service be stopped.
I really liked the way you wrote this post explaining why these schemes are not good for Hive
I also really liked cryptocompany's response in your post and in this post because they understood the reasons and immediately stopped the service and are thinking about better alternatives.
I consider this a good example of how a problem can be solved in a nice and positive community:
- an experienced Hiver shows a problem/error to a less experienced Hiver giving a second chance
- the less experienced Hiver understands the problem and fixes it thanking whoever pointed out the error
About HSBI:
- If HBSI can receive HIVE in exchange for shares (not tokens) to give an automatic vote why can't a game project sell a token (purchasable and sellable) in exchange for a vote that is reviewed before voting it?
This translates to: If you have thousands of HP you can sell votes otherwise not
I think this situation it should be solved like the others
