RE: The Great Reward Pool Rape Debate: A minnows perspective on the @berniesanders vs @haejin 2017 Steemit Beef
The problem would be disproportionate reward for people who don't contribute. However, if you read the postings being so heavily criticised for receiving too much, you will find that they tend to be content rich and well written. The whole platform depends on people contributing and people voting to support further contributions by that author. Quality content brings votes and money, which seems to be what is happening.
maybe, it depends on what one considers to be quality.. I do a ton, write well and am rewarded not for the most part..I think much has to do with what social clique you are in around here.. @pawsdog
I am starting to notice that myself. I noticed that there are people who come to a post and upvote a comment and they don't even upvote the content itself. The comment that gets upvoted is usually something generic like "great post, keep up the good work".
I would think you would upvote the content if you are going to upvote reply comment. The only time I would think that you would upvote a comment without upvoting the original post is if you disagree with the original post and you think the comment a strong counter to the original post.
My critique is not really about the person in question or even this particular incident. My critique is about the broader implications of this incident. I think that is why this incident is polarizing people. There is something deeper here.
The concern is that people can lose trust and trust is the foundation of all currency. Check it this article:

I feel like it illustrates the absurdity of what can happen if people feel like just being ridiculous.
