RE: Narrative, Steemit, and the Influence of Power

[jent]

I'm sure that Narrative will also confront the issue of vote-buying. But it is likely to be less severe there. Since you cannot buy reputation (i. e. voting power) on Narrative, a bot will have to gain reputation first, and it could be not so easy. Also, the difference in voting power between whales and minnows is not so dramatic as on Steem. It does not exceed the ratio of 100:1. So the influence of one particular bot will be limited. And, probably, upvoting a post which other users downvoted will lead to a reputation loss, but I'm not sure.

Also, where do you get the information that the niche suggester receives 10% of the niche sale? I could not find it anywhere.

I'm pretty sure Narrative won't tolerate bots. It doesn't seem like a community that would put up with it for long.

And, probably, upvoting a post which other users downvoted will lead to a reputation loss, but I'm not sure.

I hope not. I can't imagine why it would be a reputation limiter to be a minority. That would be awful!

Also, where do you get the information that the niche suggester receives 10% of the niche sale? I could not find it anywhere.

Right here

Once the niche is paid for, the person that suggested the niche receives a commission equal to 10% of the fee paid.

But it could be hard to detect bots or paid upvotes by "real" accounts. Anyway, Narrative has to be ready for such a behavior.

Thank you for the link. However, it says:

Until/unless a suggestion fee has been applied, 100% of the niche ownership fee will be reserved for Network Rewards.

Since currently there is no suggestion fee, the 10% rule is not applied.

Ah, yes! Thanks. I completely missed that. They have some weird rules.
