Centeralized voting power = Censorship = Bad for Steemit and Steemian community

in #voting8 years ago (edited)

I believe voting power should be equal for every steemian. Its not right for the whales to have all the power to decide who has the best or worst posts. It should be up to the steemian community as a whole to decide what is good and what is bad. Not just a few whales. The way it is set up now is actually not good for the steemit community. I want to know what the steemit community thinks is the best or worst content. Not what the opinion of a few steem whales think is good or bad content. It seems to go against what I believe steemit is all about. Decentralization and non censorship. The way it is set up now as far as voting power goes it is totally centralize to a few steem whales. And with voting power being centralized it allows a few steemit whale to have the power to sensor what they think is good content and what is bad content. So basically if a steemit whale decides that the post is not up vote worthy then the post never gets seen or noticed by the steemit community as a whole. Centralized voting power = Censorship = bad for Steemit and bad for Steemit community. Thanks for taking the time to read this post fellow Steemians

To this discussion I would like to tads that any form of decreasing returns to sp will create an incentive to spread out over multiple accounts, creating lots of fake identities devaluating the community.

Limit people to one account only

Voting power will never be equal in Steem, that goes against the concept and is easily undermined by Sybil attacks. However they do recognize the centralizing aspect of having disproportionate power in a few people. You should check out their recent posts on the matter, such as this one:

Sounds like the beginning of a communist manifesto
