RE: Updated thoughts on 'the whale experiment'

in #experiment7 years ago

jeez @timcliff why don't you save yourself the acrobatics and just publicly state that you support the concept of a couple of whales dictating the behaviour of the other whales in the name of the good of what is supposed to be a decentralized platform?

I've seen politicians use less double talking.

I'm not ignoring that the outcome has its positives.. but the method and the optics of it stink. You can spray all the deodorant on it you want, it still rots.

Sort:  

I've basically said as much already. It is a slight mis-characterization though.

If it was just 2 whales, then they would be outnumbered. There are a majority of whales that are participating in the experiment by not voting or voting with reduced stake (see link). There are just two that are doing the downvoting.

I support:

  • Whales telling other whales what to do with their stake (the other whales are still free to ignore it and do what they want)
  • Whales using their stake to cancel out the votes of other whales they disagree with.

you should be in politics ... oh wait, you are
