Zapfic Contest: Dump HIVE-SBI or stick with it?

I currently give away HIVE-SBI as part of the winners awards for my Zapfic contest.

I am aware that there is a faction of Hive who are against Hive-SBI. They think it is a form of vote bot and downvote people who use it as they feel that rewards should be only given by curation (ironically whenever they downvote me it tends to be on posts that have been curated!).

I am not going to stop using Hive-SBI because of downvotes. But I will switch to a different reward for Zapfic if those who use it would like me to.

This is the current prize pool (Option 1)

6 HIVE-SBI Shares 30% of author rewards of next weeks zapfic post Upvotes, Reblogs

Often I award more Hive-SBI’s and more of the author rewards, but that is the minimum.

Would you like me to stick with Hive-SBI or would you prefer I switch to awards in HIVE?

Option 2 6 HIVE 30% of author rewards of next weeks zapfic post Upvotes, Reblogs

Please could you tell me why in the comments.

Please note: the result of the poll will not be binding, just advisory. Regular entrants to the Zapfic contest will carry more weight than people who have never entered, when I make my decision
