RE: Idea: Rethinking the Voting Power system for a better Steem network

in #steem7 years ago

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all this. I doubt we necessarily want to read more content. We just want to see the very best content.

I think self-vote are a problem.

Sort:  

... but how can we find out what the best content is if we don't read and compare many articles? :-)

Unfortunately many members don't vote for the best content they can find, but instead they vote for authors from whom they expect high impact upvotes in return for their votes. This is the short version. I described it more thoroughly in my article about self-voting since HF 19.

An example of blatant self-voting of minimalistic own articles (using videos of other people with no own text) you can find here.

Btw.: I always like to read your high quality and very motivating articles about Steemit and its possible future. :)
