RE: Why you can't attract upvotes?
There are lots of ways to address the problem.
- Ban bots
- recurve the upvote reward structure so that minnows have more upvote reward(ie a .01 upvote is now a .03 upvote) and whales have less
3)limit the amount you can upvote from one account to another account.
4)ban self upvoting
and probably the best solution
- Start a new site with a SMT that does all this as a competitor to Steemit and let the best turd throwing monkey win.
Awesome points. I'm not sure if we could end bot use but we could at least deincentivize bot curation. The main problem is having such a large income gap between minnows and whales because the way it is now, even if something could work, it'll only happen if the biggest whales are on board, even if 70-90% of he community disagree with it.
I've heard arguments for keeping self upvoting, none of them are extremely convincing to me.
I think there should be a huge curve on the dollar value ofvoting power, the same as reputation, so you can buy in and get a higher upvote but only to a certain point. It will discourage some people from investing into a ton of steem power but it'll make the whole platform much more sustainable in the long run.
I think bots are one of the few ways new ppl can make money till they take off and keep it worth them staying so not so sure about that one but this is a great post
Banning bots is not an option i suppose, i wish it was.
recurve the upvote rewards seems to be good one, but doesn't solve the problem of selective upvoting
Ban self upvoting seems to be bad to me, because you will loose a lot of investment in steemit, or it won't have an effect, since they can create an alternative account and use it to vote themselves.
Starting a new site with SMT is a good solution, but is SMT already live and running?
I think maybe they should add a non monetary vote. It add more visibility on the feed. Anybody can upvote it and in this case the free upvote is indifferent of the reputation. I mean my upvote is just as good as the best whale outhere. Oh and improve dtube.
