RE: I Will Upvote Constructive Comments by 5-10 Cents - Let's Improve Content on Steemit Together
If our knowledge is astute, we can earn more trading in a group where they trade back valuable knowledge. Knowledge production is worth more than 10 cents. That is the Inverse Commons.
I don’t think you intended to be unpleasant. You’re just expressing yourself.
The OP was not intending to restrict degrees-of-freedom. You’re pointing out that he inadvertently did. There are tradeoffs. I hope we can find models that are not too one-dimensional.
Yes @anonymint, knowledge too is the Inverse Commons. My sincere thanks to you to link to that article. It was really an interesting read!
And yeah, I do feel that the author of this post is in quest to establish some ideal model for encouraging and adopting a right perspective towards content generation on this platform. I was just trying to post a critique of his model. (But it's also true, personally I didn't like his approach. But who cares ..."your blog your rules" 😉)
Voting incentives spammers such this one linked below:

I downvoted many of his comments, because he is just spamming the system hoping to get 5 and 10 cents here and there. Must be a bot or someone from a third world country. I suspect he is operating many sock puppets and replies to himself with them:

It’s quite pointless for me to waste my time downvoting to try to lower his reputation. The downvoting design of Steem thus incentivizes pointless activity. My main motivation was to retaliate for him downvoting my recent blog about Marisa Mayer, so as to let him know that downvoting is highly discouraged on Steemit and should only be done to flag low quality, spam, fraud, or abusive content. To express disagreement, one should post a comment, not issue a downvote. Punishing quality content creation with downvotes (which impact the author’s reputation score) is the antithesis of incentivizing the growth of Steemit.
