RE: @haejin still raping the reward pool! @ned WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE??
I don't see any problem with Bernies upvoted comments or trending posts regarding the reward pool, because he uses his rewards mostly for countering highly paid bs posts. With that in mind, he is doing a wonderful job for the whole steem world. And as he stated, he paid a huge amount of SBD for getting the attention of other whales.
We all should try to see the whole picture. Maybe Haejin is a good technical analyst, but why should an account of an already well paid man take a huge part of the rewards out of the pool, which actually is intended to be for all of us? Should the minnows really deserve less rewards, because of the good work of one person?
The incorrectly calculated percentage of 6% on steem.supply brought me to implementing it to the steemworld so that we can see the real values from now on. I'm thinking about adding some kind of "reward pool rape index" at the top for each account so that we are able to detect such cases in an easier way.
But I think the 1% makes no difference, because it tells us the same story. Someone takes a huge amount of the available rewards by creating many posts on a daily basis. This fact shows me that it can't have taken so much time to create them. Some of us work for days or even weeks for making one post that then ends in a $100 payout. Maybe we really need kind of a post limit again...
Anyway, great job @berniesanders! As soon as I find time for it, I will add some "extras" in my tool for better detecting this kind of accounts in the future ;)
This looks really odd to me (all from the top of the trending page):
As I have seen in his youtube videos, he uses my tools, but I have never received an upvote from him. Why, when he begs for upvotes at the end of each video with the reason that hard work should deserve votes?
My german post for introducing my new tool (steemworld) is at $192 and it took me months to develope it. I'm not complaining about my rewards but I think it's an interesting comparison...
Same here dude, working hard on developing tools for Steem and im lucky that i have the backing of a couple of people who have some contacts. Still, im only getting in the range of tens of dollars per post for stuff that im spending hours working on.
This is not a good news for Steem. Whales got no balls in addressing this ridiculous reward harvesting. It's only @berniesanders pursuing this and the rest are sleeping pussies, see no evil, hear no evil. WTF
"reward pool rape index"
I am begging for this index to be published - please make it available immediately. This is a project for utopianio.
I'm in awe of the idea that a heavy hitter with fans would be treated like this.
"Let's kill him." says steemit.
This place is a never ending amusement park of insanity. Now that you have all played with the big kids today, please go comment on 3 posts of authors between 35-45 rep. You do not even have to upvote them. Just make a comment so they don't think they are posting into a black hole.
This small, generous action on your part will improve the place more than anything else you can do today.
Remember that we get less than 3 comments per post and so many are very lonely. Comment to little guys daily, and we might have less than 97% of them die off right when things are getting good.
Such index would be nice to have, but its calculation should be very well thought through. A percentage alone can not tell the whole story for all people. As you've mentioned, the possibility exists that it's a rich person who brought a super huge stake. I don't want to kill famous people on steemit just because they are famous, but the fame should be shared within the whole steem world and it may be difficult to take care of it without manual work...
"Let's adjust the rewards a bit" would sound better to me.
"Some of us work for days or even weeks for making one post that then ends in a $100 payout." If only time spent creating a product actually mattered to the end user.
