RE: Steem Arbitrage: Flaw Or Nothing For Concern...?
That said, it doesn't really seem to me like the issue here is the recycled nature of the post. There are many "hidden gems" and similar type posts designed to get attention for unnoticed posts. What it seems like to me is that you either disagree or simply don't want the issue discussed, and youre doing your best to make sure it doesn't get exposure.
Although you are entitled to belileve whatever you like, and vote accordingly, I take exception to the claim that the post i n question was "incoherent nonsense". If it was something that Rok felt was compelling enough to repost (which, incidentally, was entirely unsolicited) , and many other presumably intelligent people agreed with and found it compelling (including @andrachy, who proofed it) and a hundred something people who voted for it. Even if im wrong (ftr im not), there seems to b e enough of a compelling argument to make a lot of people think.
It's absolutely both. The hidden gems posts reference several posts not just one. And even then people still debate whether those are worthwhile . A post referencing only a single post which was not missed but as you point out already got 100+ votes is recycling.
Yes my view on the merits matters too. If I thought something really important and profound was being missed and needed more exposure then I would support giving it that, but I don't.
EDIT: typos
well youve got a point there.
I should point out (then im finished with the matter) at the time when rok reposted, i think i had like 30 or 40 upvotes, nearly all of them by my followers who are (for the most part) no one important.
