I hold the opinion that there's no place for automation in Curation, outside automated downvoting of bid bots or automatic upvoting of malicious flagging, and it doesn't matter how much SP one holds because one can only spend about the same amount of attention every day and to fret over unused VP as wasted misses The big picture which is all about giving the many a chance at rewarding content, which in turn makes people feel a semblance of what the Steem experience is about, as the whale experiment showed.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
To reward content (other than a pat on the back) takes SP and this means buying in or earning it. If earning it, this takes distribution. if those with SP don't distribute, not much happens. The big picture you talk of is facilitated by people holding the steem they earn as SP and using it to reward content. I do that, do you? Instead of reading, answering and rewarding comments, and instead of reading and rewarding posts. I can instead just find 5 people to upvote and save my attention for more important things like watching TV.
The funny thing is that you are arguing with someone who does their best to engage and reward and improve the Steem experience for as many as possible. Are you working for your own ideals or is the expectation that it is only other people who must live to your own ideals?
The pool is distributed proportionally on Vests and again you ignore the ~35,000,000 SP that is paid to vote every 2.4 hours and maximize 24 hours a day. there are ~8500 accounts with more than 500 SP (you aren't one of them and combined they have less than all of the bidbots by 50%. If the whales, orcas and dolphins stop voting, the minnows will hae more access to a pool for about 7 days before the bidbots commandeer more and more of it until they have near all as they will grow in vests a hell of a lot faster than the minnows.
You draw lines around things and ignoring the reality. I am really tired of this conversation as it goes around in a circular thinking motion. It is not for me.
