RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change

in #steem7 years ago

Great idea in diminishing the curation rewards as they continue to self upvote or circle jerk. I think this would be helpful to the platform indeed. What do we do about all this selling of votes and leasing of Steem power? This also is not good for anyone but whales either?

Sort:  

I personally am not convinced that the option to delegate Steem power ist helpful for the success of the platform. Too many people borrow Steem power just to upvote themselves (and then that means they need not to care about the quality of their articles anymore). Actually I see more disadvantages than advantages. Therefore I would solve the problem by simply disable this option. :)

I agree. I feel it is extremely harmful to the platform. This creates no need for good quality just quantity with lots of upvotes. That's the mentality to profiting through delegation.
