RE: Been a while since I've posted about curation

in #curatemethisyesterday

As everyone has different ways of thinking and different view points but having high voting power means having high HP will cause you to get more curation on your post..... And i think the option of self vote should be banned on hive because i see many with high voting value vote themselves on their post which isn't good

Sort:  

I quite honestly didn't even know self voting was allowed lol. I know the button is there but I never clicked it on my own posts solely because I thought it wouldn't even go through... because why would it?

So yeah knowing now that self-voting is a real thing I think it should be banned as well. But also giving yourself a little kickback isn't that bad... within reason but I doubt the majority of people are using it in moderation though :)

Yes but some people use this button in the wrong way for their own purpose

It's kind of pointless to ban it cause people can just go around to create alt accounts if they really wanna do it.

Most self-votes aren't bad, 1-2 per day is not the end of the world. It becomes bad when they delegate their HP away to receive 10x back in a vote from other delegators on that project which practically makes it 10x daily selfvotes just concentrated in one post. Projects that solely curate those that delegate to them are encouraging these 10x daily selfvotes while taking a fee from the delegations so the higher the delegation amount grows the more they earn so they don't care to actually curate users not actively giving them delegations aka profit.
