RE: A new approach to Content Reward Allocation
Let me see if I got this straight. the problem is we don't want the bots to come in and just upvote on every post that dan or any other post and take all the rewards and make it unfair to the other members, right? or am i way off base? if i'm right then could you add more of the voting power to the people that contribute more to Steemit? for example the bots probably don't post any content , they probably just come on and just upvote post, But the members who are posting content and adding more value to the site could have more weight added to there voting power. So basically if i am a bot or just try to come on here just to upvote and don't add any content of any kind it makes my voting power pretty much useless. now if i am creating good content and posting regularly the my voting power goes up. and when i do upvote something then the more i share in the rewards. wouldn't that take the power away from the bots and give it to the people that contribute to steemit? You could combine your steem power with a contrubuting power ( how much content plus the quality of the content contributed to the site) to determine your voting power. i don't know if that makes any sense at all or am i just way off base?
This is already going to happen over time. Content rewards redistribute ownership of Steem Power to both posters and voters. Someone who both posts (includes comments) and votes well will make more than someone who just votes well and doesn't post.
Much of the current reaction is based on the early adopter dynamics and not necessarily what will happen once Steem Power starts getting redistributed. Even right after July 4, things will change a lot, as there will be a much larger group of people with big chunks of Steem Power than there is now.
