[I'm replying to your later post]

We will have to agree to disagree that the early vote buying posts were anything like Steemsports. However:

> Your SP is for manipulating the reward pool. It if abuse to manipulate the users to use their votes in favour of YOUR SUBJECTIVE VIEW. Can you seriously not see how incredibly selfish and hypocritical it is to go from down voting these games one minute and then turn around and up vote the ones that YOU like, to manipulate the votes yourself?

First of all, my SP is not "manipulating" the reward pool, it is expressing my opinion on how the reward pool is to be allocated (in this case to sport-related content and a game/initiative that distributes a small amount of reward and stake to users who decide to participate, which I find to be a use of reward funds that brings more value to the platform as a whole than rigidly demanding that all rewarded posts conform to a narrow view of blogging or content). Is my opinion any less legitimate than yours or anyone else's? I certainly would not make that statement about your SP and your votes.

Second of all, even if there were no differences between the posts, and I think there is, no I do not think it is hypocritical to change one's view on something. Are you claiming you never change your views? 

But again, I don't think any of those earlier posts were as substantive nor well-developed a concept as Steemsports, which came to the platform from the very start having done a significant amount of development of the concept, idea, branding and plans to promote and expand the platform (which are being carried out). I see a hell of lot of more effort having gone into Steemports and value being delivered by it. That's why I vote the way I do.
