RE: Do you agree to remove downvote pool in Hardfork23 as a witness?
Voted for
- No, I don't.
I will be honest, I was tempted to say yes, a witness vote from you means instant top20 for me, after two years of being a backup witness.
However, I cannot see the positive in no downvotes in our current economics.
Free downvotes brought also stupid downvote behaviors however we also wiped out a lot of spammers/leechers.
I agree that some accounts flagging for no reason, I’ve personally tasted some flagging on my posts just because some accounts upvoted me. This is not an optimal situation.
On the other hand, you have great amount of SP proxied to your account, you can use this SP to shape the distribution in the reward pool. I think this is the the best solution.
Thank you @emrebeyler. I've got your opinion as a witness.
It's not easy to explain the harm of downvote directly. But what can I say is that it may be a violence named with 'balance'.
It causes users to be disappointed and even get away from Steemit, I think.
