RE: Why don't I upvote some people's content (anymore), even if I like it?
Its my contention that any rewards received not voted to you by others is reward pool abuse.
If bots were about advertising they could require rewards to be declined and still serve that function.
The sellers wouldnt charge less than the curation rewards they would have gotten and could profit even more than they do now.
But dont mention that in certain discords or they will boot you out, i know.
I think we bring back the n(something) and a 500mv vote cap and as dolphins and orcas are born the cap can be raised.
Not a coded cap, either.
One enforced by the community.
Thanks for being in the struggle to free ourselves from the tryranny of the wealthy, and shame on stinc for not standing up for steem.
Interesting options. 500mv enforced by community would require flags to combat, and if the higher ups with the SP in power don't agree then they can get away with it unless there is a concerted effort for ppl to flag those who are high in SP to remove their votes... If the code can change back to n2 (which I dont think is necessarily better), why can't it change to limit the power level to upvote?
You're welcome ;) Good post today on the subject.
Yes, the whale experiment showed that only a few flags would be necessary.
If the noncooperative whales persisted, there would be no other choice.
I looked at the top accounts, only steemit has enough that couldnt be countered by two or three other whales working together.
A hard coded cap would show weakness in the resolve of the community.
If the community decides that its better to muzzle the whales to benefit the newbs, then it needs to make that happen.
Were the community to decide the bots are cancerous, we should flag their users.
Like the vote bots, we will know our success when they have no customers, when folks decide to tilt the math in favor of the havenots, rather than the haves, we will see our success.
I think it is better to not choose an option than to have that option removed.
It looks better on the whales to show restraint than to have their option removed by the code.
Its the same as not commiting a crime because you think that action wrong rather than because you fear punishment.
Thank you!
