RE: THE SNAKE OIL CONTROVERSY: My Take

You can decline rewards at Settings -> Preferences -> Blog post rewards -> Decline Payout.

Your post will still be on trending, but without payout and people won't downvote it.

I think you can still set @null as benefactor and burn all rewards.

I set @null as benefactor for 50% of rewards for this comment.

^{You can use http://fbslo.net/burn.html to burn payout to @null}
