RE: Case 11: Aliexpress and some voting-bots, making rewards without an effort!
Sadly, life and experience has taught me that only honourable people care about reputation. The vast majority couldn't give a tinkers fart what others think while in pursuit of money. :-(
Such dishonorable inventivness is typical of the cash starved but internet savvy netizens of countries like India, Indonesia, Pakistan etc. As @laylahsophia pointed out in her post above, even small 0.2 SBD rewards are enough motivation for them.
I fear that this can to become a survival issue because there is nothing inherently in Steem that will 'reward' quality rather than 'quantity'. (Quantity obtained from 100 bot-accounts/paid followers who mindlessly upvote/ downvote whatever you tell them to)
Do we have some sort of overriding delegated authority though? Like, A downvote from a senior enough member should become punitive enough. The problem is then that this goes against the whole concept of decentralization :(
Can we have community-chosen grand wardens. That'd be cool..Though there'll have to be some mechanism to avoid entrenchment of power..
Wow..I should write a post with these ideas.:)
