RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change

in #steem7 years ago

Do you think that you're helping the community by selling millions of Steem in lease agreements for your own personal SBD growth? That was a honest question by the way.

Do you think that all the people who purchase leases from you don't just upvote themselves with it? I mean come on, I can do math like the rest of us and the only way people are getting there money back is if the only upvote themselves until the lease runs out.

I suppose once curation goes back to 50/50 like you're requesting then you could stop the lease delegation and go back to curating.

Please put your head back on the drawing board and come up with something that works for everyone not just whales.

Sort:  

I'm pretty sure that purchasing a steem delegation from me and just upvoting poor quality content written by the delegator is simply not profitable. If you look around, you'll see plenty of people who've experimented with it and reported that it wasn't.

My proposal is to increase curation rewards so that leasing a delegation would be profitable for real curation. This would also create more curators. There's simply not enough time in the day for me to personally read all the posts that are out there and curate them nowadays. The delegation leasing system "potentially" allows other people to lease my SP and profitably curate for themselves, but not under the current rules.

I'm looking for a system that works for everyone: I stand far more to gain from more happy investors in Steem than I ever will through delegation payments, author rewards, or curation rewards. Most people curate far more than they post: my proposal is also aimed at making those people happier about curating.

Thank you for replying. I will continue to monitor the status of this. I am onboard for a better Steemit just like everyone else. There are definitely changes that need to be made I just want to make sure we are doing what's best for the average users.
