RE: The ability to speak freely, not earn freely
no you can't:
- There is no money there, in the shop, not until the 7th day at payout
- Until that day it is my money, our money, everyone's money, its the reward pool money
Read the Steem Whitepaper.
Damn! Even on reply, I can't beat Taraz! :)
The money isn't "in the bank" until the end of the day when the deposit is made.
The tip-jar isn't emptied into the bartender's or street-musician's pocket until the end of the night.
If I leave someone an upvote, that's essentially a tip for that specific post and that specific account.
I'm fully intending to contribute to and encourage their efforts.
And if someone who disagrees with that post or doesn't like that account downvotes that same post with enough steem-power, they REDIRECT MY VOTE (tip) to "the reward pool", where it gets distributed to the TOP EARNERS.
My vote is canceled.
Please explain what you would consider a real-world equivalent to this "give to the commons" moral theory of yours.
Perhaps a charity box at a church that gets redistributed to the poor?
Would it be like having a hundred charity boxes, each with someone's name on it?
And then if one box got "too many" contributions, the church leaders would "redistribute" those donations to the TOP EARNERS?
How does this make sense to anyone?
;D
