I think the change numer of votes was very bad for steemit . If you ask me there is very simple solution instead of lowwer the numbers of votes to be increase to 100 . This will make really very hard to selfvote , ( if somone really like to spend 10 h comment and posting he will actualy desurve the votes ) And also will help us search for more good contents for upvote if we like the curation rewards . This also will help the problem with th VEREY concentrate power how it is right now in steemit !
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
curation rewards: they are not that much compared to what you can get with votes itself
removal of number of post limits: this is the key thing that should not have happened, now quite few accounts are posting like mad, likely copy/paste a lot and post 10 posts a day + self votes
vote power: shall at least be what we had before, 40 votes per day, maybe indeed increase it to 50 or our suggested 100.
gaming the system: whenever you want to game the system, this is relatively easy: post 1 post, create 50 comments of your own against that post and upvote all of them; that are 51 votes already.
With all the newbies (more than 50k last month or two), the fight for the reward pool also became stronger. The same amount of Steem to be spread over a lot more users! So even when having kept the HF18 or even HF16, I suspect we still had new issues of self voting in our community since that is the only way to get some rewards. Now the whales are voting again, our power becomes less, and not that many whales vote for the newbies. Some do, and that is great! But some dont and give it to other orcas and whales. Anyway, now we have much more users and HF20 will be ready to except even more users, we will see a lot of things that can be considered not good for the community and will only serve a short tern focus. That is why I think we shall create a kinda centralised institution that will enforce the soft rules we define together in the community, since otherwise if this is done by individuals and small groups, than I expect a lot of wars starting again, what one group thinks is bad, another group disagrees with, therefore we need community wide consensus and very clear transparency to allow for as many users to easily follow what is happening on the front of fighting the 'bad'.
