RE: Backstage tickets and negative attention
It will be interesting to see the shift in downvote habits. Due to 50/50 curation a downvote on the content creator is also an equivalent downvote on the curator.
Curators will be more vigilant in revenge downvoting to scare timid flaggers away from the content they support.
Very likely in some instances but I think less so than if the flag was on their own content directly. The shift (or no shift) is going to indicate toward many different issues and perhaps will eventually take away some of the stigma of getting criticism. I have a feeling I will get flagged a lot more :D
Indeed... plankton will still be afraid to downvote so the whales with bot armies will still make or break the system by either using their stake resonsibly or being short-sighted and allowing disillusioned plankton to move on to greener pastures (non-Steem ones). In effect, nothing will change unless whales decide to become visionaries and act accordingly.
At the moment at least, most active stake is swung by the 300 orcas and the 2000 dolphins on the platform. there are 35 whales, 18 of them are inactive or something like that.
To "me" ...anyone above dolphin (and can shut me down with bots if I somehow accidentally offend them) is a whale.
