RE: Whales Having Power is Good: Power is an Incentive to Buy and Hold on to STEEM Power + What Incentives Would YOU Like to See - An Open Discussion

in #steem8 years ago

I'm not opposed to the general idea of "whales" having power. However, for purposes of curating power, I would like to see earned steem power count for more than purchased steem power somehow. How much money you put in has no bearing on the quality of your curation.

Sort:  

I agree. Curation should be for those who are paying attention to the content. Of course the whales do do that. But they also run bots 24/7 that make it impossible for anybody who spends more attention and time than them to compete for curation rewards.

I have seen no reasonable argument in favor of bots. If Steemit is to be a money making scheme then bots are great. If it to be a content creation site with accurately curated content, they are terrible.

I'm currently writing a 3 part series on that issue and a possible solution that most people won't like lol. I hope you'll check it out :)
