RE: Statistics request for developers: Self-upvotes pre-HF18 versus HF19

Obviously, and that's what I say in my post. However, if a significant portion of the reward pool just goes towards rewarding stakeholders, the platform would be increasingly less attractive to creators and newcomers, and that could stifle growth.

Sort:  

I think the rewards for creators are very good right now, I see many posts earning hundreds of dollars and some even thousands. Newcomers are important, but if they all get free money by signing up and without effort is not right too.

I think it is a very good motivation to show the newcomers that they have to create excellent content, or have to be very active in curation and commends or invest in SP to reach something here. As it is in real life.

Finally, for a valuable platform to be able to contain real value, people have to put money in. So why don't the investors / stakeholders deserve some rewards? As an investor I should never just buy Steem without the influence, because the inflation is way to high. I bought SP for the influence and possibility to make some money out of it. Steemit works because of a ballans between content creators and investors.
