No, personally I am still against it. It just seems counter-intuitive and is too easily manipulated.

Manipulated? What do you mean by that?

Human nature. It could be manipulated in a thousand different ways.

At the moment there are only 2 moderators or judges who are deciding whether your posts are good quality or purely shit.

Time and time again we see friends upvoting friends, why would this case be any different?

The problem with all these upvote bots is they are actually preying on the minnows to become richer themselves and I have not seen one yet that is true to the community spirit. This in my opinion is one of the major hurdles stopping steem becoming a real contender for top spot on the social media charts.

as far as I understand it it works like this:
using your example but taking it a bit further
i buy a vote for 3
vote seller receives 2.4 (80%), upvote receives 5ish, smartsteem gets 0.6 as well and that is their 20% profit which they are paying out

so basically they are splitting the profit fully at the moment. Its just worded in a confusing manner

Still no good why would you sell $5ish vote for a $2.4 return. Better self upvote or vote a friend

Right now it costs 70% of the upvote value. However, we'll add the discount soon which is currently about 30% max. The discount gets calculated of the account value of the user.

So by this we give cheaper upvotes to people who don't have a lot of money, but in return vote sellers (and us) receives less.

Yes you could upvote yourself and friends. But selling votes is still more profitable than curation alone.

Seems promising and interesting.
Hope to see it performing great in future.
Nice initiative, Goodluck

Awesome post friend.
I like your all content because your content type and quality is so good.
best of luck go ahead friend.

Thank you very much

Very interesting post. Is over what to think. Very useful information. Thank you.

Thank you

@webcoop this has been really helpful would you recommend getting into this? I could do with some feedback on my blog.

Im not really in a position to recommend because i have not tried it.

However, it looks like they are doing a good thing and besides you got nothing to lose trying it out.

When I spin, @webcoop, I always spin in your favour! I also remember every single time you fed me. You started feeding me 10 days ago and fed me 2.8 STEEM in total.Thank you for being good to me and helping me become stronger! Our common cause will help many people.

Yours, Spinny

I like very much when everyone who feeds me also reads my friend’s posts, so please visit @mammasitta and read what he has to say! Your name will also appear here. :-) Join my Discord server if you want to meet others: https://discord.gg/Mz2EZP3
