RE: OPEN LETTER TO STEEMIT INC., THE WITNESSES, AND THE WHALES
You could self vote, but it wouldn't do much to your payout (author or curator) unless a lot of others upvoted it too.
The real joy was in downvoting.
Even small players could heavily downvote a trending post.
(The bigger the post, the more your influence, up OR down).
Not many of us downvote abuse by 50c because we're better off just upvoting ourselves 50c; but if the choice were between a 5c self upvote and a $5 downvote, there'd be a whole lot less crap at the top of trending.
haha pondered that like a minute and came up with a question! haha
Thanks for this discussion! I've not ran across the info anywhere else.
All very interesting!!!
Rep is really just a cosmetic thing, it doesn't affect payouts in any way.
It is interesting, lots to think about.
I hold out hope that some of these changes are reversed, we are still in beta.
That is a totally different ball game than what we have now!
Well, Steemit is in beta.
Have you caught wind by chance of what to expect with the next fork?
Best I can tell, Hf20 is all about getting people signed up quicker and communities, (like subreddits)
Those will be welcome changes. Thanks
