RE: Why free downvotes are a good and necessary part of STEEM
Maybe downvotes were good if the came from the community. But they come from a few guys with the most power.
Maybe steem was supposed to work like this. But it is not like a lot of people want it to work. This is not social-media but antisocial-media.
If there is one guy able to decide about all other peoples revenues there are much better options than steemit.
I also do not like that damn voting-bots but maybe it needs fundamental technical solution for optimization not a few guys playing sheriff.
A lot of people think about technical solutions, the options for that are limited.
I agree, overly big stakes deciding on rewards are an issue. That goes in both directions though. The bid bots wouldn't be possible without being delegated big stakes (or centralizing a lot of small ones under their roof) or having them themselves.
We are a difference in reward distributions now that the few people who want it to work can act accordingly. The hope is that the overall culture will change. That'll take a lot of time though, after years of fostering the culture that dominates.
