This is no longer a platform about "one vote", it is a platform about "consensus of the crowd."
Except it's now more than ever about one vote.
I see posts with 100+ organic votes worth $0.40. That means to me that the crowd values that, and not just any crowd, but a crowd that is appreciating the content regardless of ROI.
And yet one vote from a whale will determine if something is worth above the curve.
We knew and we know that this curve business is bad for most good users.
Yes, it's only been a few days. And sure, let's give it more time, but I want to see concrete criteria for what will prompt a change back to linearity. I think, if we see less engagement from small users a month from now, we should urgently return to linearity.
