RE: The core concepts of DTube's new blockchain
I didn't say linear rewards is the cause of the bidbots but I do think linear rewards while it had good intentions, had the opposite effect. It seemed to work in the beginning but then somehow human beings stopped curating and bots took over. With the bots now it doesn't work at all.
Linear rewards don't seem to work unless you can prove each account is human controlled and that all curation is done by actual brains and not bots. Linear rewards without KYC level verification of accounts is what led to the situation now I think. A whale could game the system before but we could see it, while now a whale can game the system in ways we cannot see it because any small account could be owned by the same whale.
This is what VOICE is trying to do. Humans are still better than bots at many things, and I think 'video content curation' can be one of them, it's just about balancing the game and not having something so easily exploitable by bots who have the advantage of never sleeping. So I guess we agree on the issue, but not on the way of solving it. For me it's a matter of ethics to not ask my users for information that makes them personally identifiable, so I'll do whatever I can to avoid this.
