RE: OPEN LETTER TO STEEMIT INC., THE WITNESSES, AND THE WHALES
Wow interesting @mattclarke that would be fun!
- With no self vote, you only made author reward, with no chance of curation reward on your own post, right?
You could self vote, but it wouldn't do much to your payout (author or curator) unless a lot of others upvoted it too.
The real joy was in downvoting.
Even small players could heavily downvote a trending post.
(The bigger the post, the more your influence, up OR down).
Not many of us downvote abuse by 50c because we're better off just upvoting ourselves 50c; but if the choice were between a 5c self upvote and a $5 downvote, there'd be a whole lot less crap at the top of trending.
haha pondered that like a minute and came up with a question! haha
Thanks for this discussion! I've not ran across the info anywhere else.
All very interesting!!!
Rep is really just a cosmetic thing, it doesn't affect payouts in any way.
It is interesting, lots to think about.
I hold out hope that some of these changes are reversed, we are still in beta.
That is a totally different ball game than what we have now!
Well, Steemit is in beta.
Have you caught wind by chance of what to expect with the next fork?
Best I can tell, Hf20 is all about getting people signed up quicker and communities, (like subreddits)
Those will be welcome changes. Thanks
