Hardfork 21... More incentives for scammers and "players"...big disincentives for content creators....
I can scarcely believe these changes ever even got seriously considered given the current woeful state of the platform. But here we are. TPTB here are actually going to "up yours" to all the have nots in a few days, per usual, in the name of "decentralization"...lol:
"There will be changes to the economics of Steem reward distribution. Mainly, post payouts now factor in the distribution of votes, this encourages stakeholders to distribute their votes to more content.
Good news for curators as the curation reward will increase from 25% to 50%"
Curators PROVIDE LITTLE in comparison to content creators, yet as the site struggles for its very survival, they are adopting the exact opposite policies to what is truly needed.
oh, and...OF COURSE...
"A separate Downvote Pool allows users to downvote posts and comments without affecting their voting power."
Yippeee!!!!! Additional, unregulated abuse power for SJWs and other libtards here that hate truth, and conservative content.
================
NOTE: Not long after posting this, one of Steemit's most notorious SLUGS who provides NOTHING to the platform but downvotes, hit this thread, thus graying it out. If that's just fine with you, don't bother upvoting. ("Thanks," @Bloom.)
I am not too sure how I feel about two pools. If the first pool is already broken perhaps, then adding a second pool fixes the first pool how lol? If they both have leaks, so to speak, for example, then that is problematic.
this place is a shit show, matey.
It sure is....NOW.
So sad.
