RE: The Steemit Tragedy Of The Commons - Why I Think We Need to Give More Careful Thought To Content Curation

in #blog8 years ago

This is like a Nash equilibrium problem eg all the current talk about self-voting.
the rules of the game need to change to change behaviour.
Even then, you still need to pick a strategy you enjoy - rather than one that a bot might "enjoy".

Sort:  

And, it all comes back to Nash somehow. Seriously though, awesome comparison...I think you are totally right. And, maybe it is just my "old rules" of social engagement don't fit well within new social/cryptomedia standards. I've also given a lot of thought to that. But, as you say, enjoying yourself is probably the only winning strategy for longevity, at least for now.

Thanks! Unless you programmed a bot to be your idealised crypto-citizen - then you could both have fun! ;-)

If we all did that, we could all have fun! But there's always that sub-optimal self-interested strategy tempting us away from the pack....

This one thing i noticed on the platform as well, only a few profiles are coming to the top trending page everyday. and we see similar posts from the same accounts, we need diversity, which can attract outsiders as well and the platform will grow with a rapid pace @team-leibniz
