what's a rancher vote?
He is referring to haejin aka ranchorelaxo.
ranchorelaxo has 1.5 million HP.
Whenever ranchorelaxo upvotes someone's content, the 'powers-that-be' like to swoop in and downvote the post, to nullify the rancho upvote.
As @antisocialist pointed out above:
When you do that, you only hurt the little voters?
He still has x% of the somewhat smaller curation pool.
That's the point I was making on Discord. Nuking the post because you don't like the whale upvoter punishes all the legitimate manual curators who genuinely thought the content deserved an upvote -- a very short-sighted and small-minded approach, imho.
I would burn anything he voted on to zero, then I would compensate some percentage to the innocent, but that would require some greedy f**ks to let some pennies fall from their grasp.
This option has been rejected multiple times in the past when suggested.
It makes me wonder which side those folks are on.
Clearly they don't care about the little people that get hurt, because they know the math inside and out, and refuse to do anything but harm them even more.
Smdh.
Unfortunately it will just start more back and fourth downvoting. Ur morally in right I’d def say with this idea. But it won’t end there. Seen it enough on Steemit years back and here on Hive. Just seen it or similar b4. I hope I’m wrong if that’s the plan
Either we let these accounts bleed us slowly, or we bite whatever bullets it takes to rid ourselves of them, imo.
Until enough stake comes together to do this, they are just the cost of maintaining this business, I guess.
