RE: 3 profitable alternatives to Self-Voting (Up to 45% interest)
I'm not saying I think self voting is harmless but what I wonder is why is it allowed at all? Or what about allowing people to upvote their posts but not their comments?
its an interesting idea. I think long term that it could provide some benefit. I think upvoted your post should be allowed. Or maybe you can only upvote yourself once a day? That could work also.
I like that limited self upvoting idea. I wouldn't want to completely get rid of it. It's also nice to be able to occasionally move your comment up the list for more exposure. Otherwise if you comment late, even if it's a great comment nobody reads it.
very true
It's an interesting topic to think about!
@ecoinstant I sent you a message in steemit.chat for further explaination.
I think the ability to self-upvote seems really odd too. Why would that even be considered? I guess it people would simply game that by creating fake accounts and upvoting themselves in a roundabout way.
I think the solution is to only allow people to upvote any account 2x a day including their own. There may be a way to circumvent this but it would have to be very elaborate to work.
This would prevent some of the high frequency posters from getting a disproportionate share of the reward pool. You can't put out "quality" 4+ times a day. Even if they are well written they will lack quality of thought and ideas.
This also means a more even spread of rewards. Whales would be forced to find more quality posters instead of relying on 2 or 3 high frequency posters.
Self - upvoting posts at least should not be allowed. But thats what hard forks are for.
