RE: Announcing Steem 0.14.0 Release Candidate

I also for the most part agree with @donkeyong
On top of that one of the main problems we have is that there are a small group of people who get A LOT For their posts because people bet on the post making money. Most people are using their vote to get curation reward and don't even read the posts....Lame.
What's even potentially worse isn't hat there is a already little incentive for UPvoting comments and this would make it even less...
So now there is MORE incentive to just UPvote the big boys posts to get curation rewards and LESS incentive to UPvote quality posts that might not be big earners and even less incentive to UPvote comment so.
We need NEW users to be valued to grow the platform and we need comments to bring depth to already wuality posts.
If there is little to no value for making in depth comment Then they willll be les and less. Then we have a shallow and fickle platform with bots and money hogs...

But @quinneaker, I think what people are missing here is that you can still vote all you want. And your votes still count. It simply gives you the option of using your voting influence how you choose--so you can use up all your daily voting influence in 5 votes, or you can spread your influence over more votes. This is GOOD news, especially for whale votes, which could use some diluting. IMHO. So, don't fret. Keep curating like mad. And if you want to keep one particular vote worth something, THEN you can preserve. But just keep doing what you are doing. It is designed to ward off the power of the bots so WE can have more organic say around here. I think this could be a good thing. Too soon to tell.

@littlescribe
Yes I see. Gives more control and also variables to how we vote. I can also see how it can impede bots a bit.
Well we shall see how it goes!
Thanks for the comment!
