RE: An Opponent of the Exponent: Making the Case for Vshare Linearity
Because voting on something that no one else votes for results in a much smaller reward, both content reward and curation reward.
If you look at the universe of posts, some with consensus voting from many stakeholders and some with just self-voting, the ones with consensus voting will earn the predominant portion of the reward pool under a superlinear curve. Self voting will still earn something, but it isn't much. Under a linear system, self-voting earns proportionately a lot more.
Yeah but someone who wants to vote for himself is by definition not going to vote for anyone else so how does this curve encourage someone to change his behavior and stop upvoting himself? Still don't get it. Sorry
Ok got you , so it reduces the vote. How is consensus voting calculated ? Wouldn't someone with intention to self upvote just create lots of sockpuppets to upvote too?
I don't really think this feature is useful to be honest as users who self vote themselves without consensus are very easy to spot and downvote.
