Look if it is spam someone who cares might downvote it. If no one cares, then what is the harm?
You can't force people to pay what they don't want to pay and don't see the value of, in a voluntary system. They will just sell, which helps no one. One look at the price action over most of the past year and we see this effect in action.
Exactly. And people will care a lot if it takes a significant amount of the reward pool, the content would get downvoted quickly.
When plagiarism gets upvoted a lot and suddently people realize it was actually stolen work they are very quick to downvote, I've seen it happens dozens of times. The community can police itself we don't need no babycurvesitters.
babycurvesitters lol
I would like to see minnows excempt from that self voting principle, then their curation rewards will grow at least, also a cap on the power would be useful or something along those lines, I'm not sure what has been discussed before since I'm sure it has been before(5-6 months ago)
I also like the idea of smooth for that investor class, but much like what you've proposed @ the guardians, I don't like class systems, and I wouldn't want rewards removed and another class that you have to buy into.
It's a shame it would take years to get to where other have placed themselves in a few months.
Sure the developers have built a system and all but placing themselves out of reach and being viewed like dieties by some won't help anyone.
What would be the point of this system if it's just banked crypto that does nothing and support nobody.
Curation should be fun for everyone, investors should be well off for their early push and developers should sooner or later move on to some other ideas, having this platform as a side income, where they can always be supported for the many opportunities given to the many people making a living and transferring wealth between themselves.
So yeah keep the rat maze I guess see where it leads :D
(Steemit experiment must go on :D )
Is it really necessary? can it change anything in reality :P can it make us better as humans, that is what steemit should be, not a dead forum with posts nobody reads for profits everybody's chasing and putting their thumbs up their arse, some quality shakesperian poetry there :D
Yeah I do agree it seems all the profits made by the platform are already "off-shored" 10mil in income and 30mil sold I was very mindfucked by that, can't remember where I saw that but It was available on the steemtools for sure.
