RE: My Idea to End the "100% Self-Vote Because of Flags" Stalemate Has Been Rejected
I disagree that he "absolutely" has the right to upvote himself. The reason people get pissed about self-upvotes and bid bots is because it's part of your "job" here is to curate. There's a social contract that you will use your SP to find good content and upvote it. It doesn't matter if he's getting flagged. He doesn't have a "right" to those rewards. He does, however, have a responsibility to curate good content.
Perhaps the better word is freedom. He is free to upvote himself; the platform allows it. But you nailed it, rights come with responsibilities. He is responsible for bringing negative feedback and downvotes on himself when he uses this platform to reward himself without regard for the others here.
i disagree. I dont have a job here, I dont have to curate, I do have a right to my stake and the derived profits.
The steem reward structure is flawed, "honest" behaviour is NOT a Nash equilibrium. Trying to fix that by invoking some kind of morality of voting will bring more problems than it solves. So either the whales will work together to propose a solution or the platform will die in a few years.
