RE: Cyber bullying and the centralization of power on Steem
It's a strange thing subjective quality. Yes, certain people you like are going to get more leeway when it comes to out-there content compared to an unknown. Without thinking somehow that quality is an objective measure, I don't think it's even desireable to totally eliminate the "vote for who you know" part of finding quality content.
However, I do agree that, at least within community niches, there are tacit agreements on what quality looks like and where should be making tools that allow that to at least get a chance in the attention-sphere.
I'm not sure, if we could do A/B testing, incentivizes people to upvote different people like by giving higher payouts when voting for different people that would be quite an interesting experiment.
I think @rycharde had a proposal that reduced the value of votes to the same author within a certain time frame. I think his proposal was mostly to discourage bot upvote rings though I can see how it might encourage more diversity in which authors one chooses to vote for too.
I was following him but I miss so many posts anyway... Could you please point out which post it was in? If it's not too much work?
