RE: Steemit flagging to reduce rewards, it's GREAT
I don't know about that, if you create great post every day you should be rewarded. However, I think the problems is huge sp whale votes carry too much power, which is surely abused because no one is a Saint.
The steem power vested by huge whales is why bloggers can earn rewards, without the whales there are no rewards, those whales flagging to reduce rewards is how the system is designed to work, it's not abuse
I don't entirely agree. The rewards will go out to someone regardless. If whales don't vote (or as is the case here, vote opposite each other, effectively canceling out to a degree) then the power devolves to dolphins and below, but the same rewards are still paid (though probably more spread out).
I agree that was being discussed before , I don't understand why you guys can't have a consensus and "conspire" why do we need the whale fires and the flag fields.
Either than that many don't get what you have said and whine away.
Still it's not helpful to anyone to have such massive drawbacks and downtime every week or so it's taking a massive amount of attention and creation way from something productive. Sure I like the discussion. So actually it's good it's happening after all, as long as something comes out that actually gets us past these child playground politics.
Anyways thanks for being here and not actually adding flame moreover thanks for not going into the vortexes with the other fish :D You seem like a smart guy after all I'm a bit stumped on bernie, he seems ok but I'm not sure, then he lashes out at somebody. You do too sometimes but at least you are smooth at it :D
I agree, but I do not feel this is sustainable in the long run. Right now it works, but I can see a storm brewing. The reason I don't think this will work is there are not enough middle class to balance the power of the elites.
I think because the price of steem is tanking, the elites need to make changes to stop the downtrend, and flagging to reduce rewards from users who earn huge rewards everyday while not garnering the attention needed for steemit growth, is a good move to increase the price of steem. In an economy based on attention, and user growth from that attention, a meme that draws attention from hundreds of users on and off steemit deserves more rewards than a well written blog post on a topic nobody cares about
@craig-grant I think steemit is too complicated a platform for meme lovers🤓 The currency is complicated, the way rewards are earned is complicated, guilds, bots, and whales, oh my!
I love philosophy and science, I'm biased.
Those elites are in their position because they know what they are doing, and flagging to reduce rewards from bots pilling onto bloggers who earn high rewards everyday no matter what, is flagging to steer steemit in the right direction
@craig-grant, I Enjoy talking to you by the way. I must do this more often!
From what I know about people, elites or anyone for that matter, they all have an agenda that is in their own interest. I do not trust anyone because of that, especially those who hold a concentration of power. If you can flag to reduce someone's payout than you can also vote someone to the trending page every day if you wish.
