i don't get why grumpycat upvoted this 100% while this is a clear message of opposing game.
anyway, i don't like how he flag others accusing abuse of the system or spamming, it has a good and bad effects,
in contrary to that, i don't believe also in rewardpoolrape, it exist only in whalefight but not really in the real world.
$20 payout turns to $15.I wish I had an article handy for you, but there are lots of types of reward pool abuse (I apologize if this is already something you know). Most tie in to the concept laid out by @dan (hopefully, he will correct me if I'm wrong here LOL) called inflation. Inflation is the effect that the reward pool is constantly changing as more users have a stake in the pool. Whales have the largest stake in the pool and in normal conditions they are unaffected by inflation. It would take a lot of users to reduce a whale's stake; however, for a minnow like me, it's a huge deal. I see it on payout day when my
@grumpycat (and others) deal with this by downvoting. If you downvote enough users, their rewards will return to the pool and cancel out that inflation (in theory). This is where it becomes abuse, whales then self-vote returning the rewards to themselves. Inflation returns only now a whale just got richer.
The impact of the reward pool rape is still unclear so as the effects of whale fight.
What ever good cause he serves, his methods are hurting people and he calls them "collateral damage". We are trying to protect ourselves as minnows from direct attacks of @grumpycat.
He should have chosen better methods than to flag innocent peoples posts.
