RE: Leveling the Playing Field - LEO is Switching to a Linear Curation Curve

in LeoFinance • 4 years ago

I just saw your post on it and commented there as well. Appreciate you taking the other side so we can debate these ideas:

  • Comment voting is actually not going to see any change whatsoever. It’s the same as it was before; still something that we will watch and actively flag and even mute abusers
  • sure, anyone could vote low quality content with a bot - but why would you? As a stakeholder of the LEO token, wouldn’t you at the very least set your autovoters to decent authors? You’re no longer disincentivized to vote for anyon, so why would you choose to vote for bad content?
  • you also bring up a good point: people who choose to abuse our rewards pool will have to be mindful of the potential downvotes. Once they get caught, downvoting bad stuff that they’re voting on will be easy to continually pick up on and we’ll make their APR go down significantly by removing those rewards. Again - why risk it when you can just set an autovoter to 10 consistently decent authors and forget about it altogether (if you want to go full auto route)

The truest point in all this is that the old system (and the very same system employed on hive) is so broken that it’s hard to go backwards. This step is 100% going to make curation better. Not perfect, but better than the old system.

    To be honest I am not opposed the change, my mind just automaically starts to look at ways that things can be broken and I try to see all the possible ramifications. I guess that comes from so many years of playing chess.

    Nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, I think that’s a very useful way to look at issues like this — and why you have a good mind for chess. I wish you were around in discord when we discussed the changes a few weeks back.

    Hopefully next time we can catch you before a change is committed to. I also like to think of the ways in which something can go wrong. With this change though, I can’t seem to find a negative. The old system is simply so broken, it’s hard to go backwards.
