RE: Two proposed HF policy change for countering reward based abuses.
Interesting. I see it two ways now. You have a good point about self voting. But someone else suggested that if everyone self voted, that would deplete the Steem power and the system would ultimately collapse.
For myself, I think I'll pass on self voting for now and see how things play out.
duh.
The whole point is that everyone only voting for themselves is worthless.
This is why people are incentivized to vote for others.
Not to mention curation rewards.
If self voting is causing problems where overvalued posts are making too much - boom flagging. The race to Nash equilibrium is futile.
If you self-upvote and nobody downvotes you, you get the full curation rewards from the post times 4.
Excluding downvotes from the equation, most people see themselves as incentivized to self upvote.
It is absolutely incentivized.
This does not mean equilibrium is where everyone only votes for themselves.
Agreed.
