then we may very well have friends and family groups upvoting each other consistantly, no matter what the quality.
If it does that, it won't be a bad thing at that point at all as there will likely be more spread anyway. The problem is when it is very narrow.
It's sobering thought. A like on Facebook costs you nothing to humour that annoying friend who wants to post pictures of their lunch and tell you they went to the gym this morning. Here it costs VP, RCs and potentially your reputation. Could we even transition into being that kind of social media?
It is because of this that if/when Facebook etc go to paid models like steem, it is going to tear their current form apart. Will people still feel at home there?
