RE: About the Whole Self-Upvoting Debate-- Let's Examine the BIGGER Perspective!

That was my impression, as well... but I'm guessing they just didn't factor in just how many people there are who are willing to sit and click links for a chance at making 1/2c.

Gotcha. So if people keep abusing Steemit, and nothing is done about it, the Steemit ship will surely founder. Getting rid of self -voting would be a good start.

I read a good suggestion somewhere... which actually got the attention of several of the witnesses... that the code be modified in such a way that people absolutely can upvote themselves... BUT it drains your voting power multiple times faster than voting for others.

I like it because it doesn't get into the gray area of censorship, but it does go a long way towards disincentivizing self-upvotes.

@denmarkguy ... Yes indeed...tweaking like that was I meant before. They'll figure out a way to handle these things. 😎 Steemit is just too good an idea to let it get ruined by abusers.
