Dear Satoshi Nakamoto,
If youโre up there or whatever, please knock some sense into the guys on this platform and if they just don't wanna fix that which shall not be mentioned forever, at least implement 1000% upvotes so I can be done with just one post a day. Dลmo arigatล ใฉใใใใใใจใ. Thanks.
Best regards,
A disgruntled SP enthusiast.
Vote for @kevinwong as witness today!
I can't decide of Satoshi is our new overlord or if it's Jeff Besos, heh, funny if they'd turn out to be the same person...and then an android :/ A.I. rerun simulation, they are on to us ;)
I would take 1% from Satoshi ๐

haha nice one!
There are many ways to find a loop hole in steem and I do hope that someday these things would get fixed for the betterment of the stem economy @kevinwong
If rewards are 50/50, why would a whale go around reading content when people are more concerned.about money? I think 50/50 rewards will increase the use of curation trails and auto upvotes.
And 50/50 rewards still benefits the author more because you are getting 50% to you while 50% is divided amonst curators.
In my opinion, this still does not reward the best content. Upvoting the best content will exist when it is most profitable to do so. As of now, people upvote shitposts because there is no.worry of.being downvoted. Bid bots exist because nobody goes around downvoting these posts based on disagreement with the payout. We need this in order to make bid bots on crap content very unprofitable. I think the interface is one problem (like and dislikes are psychologically confusing for DPOS) and downvotes are not incentivized at all.
I have an idea for a new voting interface that does not change the blockchain code, but i am not a.developer and therefore cant do it myself.

Edit: Agree to disagree. There are two other measures to complement the 50/50. its not just about the 50/50. And you said โwhy a whale would go around reading contentโ, better to think in terms of what curation services will offer.
A whale wont vote on the best content. Higher curation rewards will incentivize them the curate more. If.thats the case, its easiest to set.up an autovoter/curatikn trail and vote for the same.people to make things more.efficient as opposed to do all the hard work of finding posts that are most deserving of upvotes. I guess it would technically work if the curation trails were like curie, but it might make things too automated imo. That could be fine.but.I dont know.
Arent the rewards superlinear already due to dust?
I agree. 50/50 curation just incentivize more automated voting and for content creators just to pump out content mills. Basically just post the same thing 4 times / day. 2016 was all about content mills on here . Guys like me didn't do so well who post all kinds of different things.
Upvoting the best content needs to be the most profitable action. Why search the blockchain to give a 100% upvote when I could just upvote some bullshit 100% and get the same financial result? A whale should realize that upvoting crap will be a waste of VP and time because their $20 upvote will turn to $2 if people use their stake to downvote content. As of now, the interface heavily discourages downvoting/returning steem to the reward pool.

Personally I don't know if there is a total answer to this besides a focus on partial reward going to content that is engaging. We could say that YouTube has a similar curation problem because spammy ridiculous stuff can rise up and go viral

Probably not. People are trying to game every system. However, youtubes algorithms shits on steems as of now. Money is involved for everyone and we cant just tell everyone to stop being greedy. It is far more difficult for crap to go viral on youtube. It used to be much easier, but things are improved upon. Once you change something, youll have some negative consequences that didnt exist before but its a process.

Sure they can do that. In fact some of them already do that.
So what.
Which will make more profits, continue to circlejerk without a care in the world, or potentially land an early curation spot when someone like @neilstrauss publishes a never-before-seen unedited draft to the Rolling Stones Magazine.
There are other rules that can negate circlejerking too if Kevin's proposal goes through.

Even though I am nowhere near on becoming a whale curator, I second @trafalgar's proposition. A curator is a curator after all...so am I...so is everyone. I see no reason why this wouldn't work. Those that oppose this proposition are probably the ones that have major whale support from their early days but powered all the way down...as if support has to be taken for granted...
If there is one thing I've learned during my time here is that in most cases you have to prove yourself daily in order to be supported. For some it may look like a click of the mouse and some rechargeable VP (which it is) but at the same time it's money. Real money.
I think with the creation of all these sub communities we are seeing a nice evolution of the Steem blockchain. There are always people who will game the system and look out for only their self-interests, but there are enough community oriented people out there to balance the scales. What those self interested whales don't understand/realize is that their selfish acts drive away people from the platform and also prevent others from joining which in turn keeps the value of the coin low. Guys like Traf are very analytics and data driven but not seeing the unintended consequences of their actions hurts all of us in the long run. The selfish behaviour is immediate gratification but by not supporting the community you are hurting yourself in the long run
I wonder where this nakamoto is now
Ha ha, Let's hope that next sunrise will bring fresh and mircale light which will help in flow of abundance in all ways. ๐๐
@kevinwong, Stay Blessed.
