I'm not sure what you mean with the double-dipping ones. At any rate, like I said, I have no issues with the content these projects are voting upon. If I did, I would not support them.
And yes, it's important to acknowledge that you can intimidate people away from posting and commenting. Your earnings are easily 1000x that of newer users who can't afford to purchase stake in the platform the way you and I have. Your HP is also much higher than the average user's HP, and targeting them is a bit unfair when considering the scope of users on this platform. I would use downvotes only if I see blatant misuse such as plagiarism, illegal content, and spam, but I suppose our standards are different - that's ok. Intimidating users with your stake is not ok.
Again, there are different ways to support new users. The community accounts do have voting power, plus there's also HSBI, as well as other 2nd layer tokens which I sometimes give out. That 20k delegation I have going towards LGN - none of the tokens I earn from that right now are going to me. I send them out virtually every day. Same thing with neoxian, most of the tokens I earn from that delegation are not going to me. With Bro, I already sent most of tokens to the community accounts, and EDS is the only one that I'm actually keeping to myself for now. Even that's not intended to be a permanent voting fixture, if you read about their project. The delegation to leo.voter is only earning me LEO tokens because I think their efforts make it a worthy project; their onboarding method with Keystore is actually outstanding.
Anyway, I don't want to start defending every single delegation I have. These are my funds, and I think how I'm using them is appropriate because I trust these projects and their owners to use the delegation appropriately.
Let's just agree to disagree, ok?
