RE: DAILY STEEM REPORT JULY, 1ST ★ STEEM 1.67$ + 2017 New Accounts
Right now whales do not even need ordinary votes when they upvote their own posts, however I recently saw a post that got a large number of votes and at the time over $800 potential but no upvote for the responding voters. So here is a dilemma if a minnow votes some whale and gets no love back they are frowned upon by others for upvoting their comment because their upvotes are not getting recognition.
Until this imbalance is sorted people should upvote their own if just to bring this issue into focus without delay. Thanks elyaque, upvoted us both.
Some people bought large sums of SP on the recent dip and are posting like memes and stuff upvoting their own posts thus draining the quality posts reward pool was meant to be distributed. It will get out of any control if this trend continues. Because Steemit is a community not a money-making machine. There should be a hardfork decreasing the amount of upvoting own comments and votes. I know they can create another account... though.
Agree 100%
And thats exactly the Problem, they don't get upvoted anymore, because some Whales upvoting their own stuff, so they don't get nothing and start to do the same! Maybe in the future we only start to love ourself and don't give a vote to nobody! This is Bullshit and should be changed, it should be impossible to upvote your own comment!
But can't they then just open a sock puppet account, and upvote it?
No easy answers there.
Do you think people are just voting less to get back to 100%? I've been trying to ration them out, and I've yet to get back over 65%.
Good point Matt, sock puppet is a way around..... did't thought about that...
Could be everyone overdue it the last days and now waiting for recovering the VP....
One thing I have noticed, is that my most recent post did okay for the first few hours, then ground to a halt, (no surprises there), but I'm still getting comments on it, several days later.
I'm wondering if people are being more selective in upvoting posts only early, while there are still curation rewards to be had.
Clearly, they're still seeing it, as they're commenting, but the upvotes have stopped entirely.
UPVOTED :)
