RE: Self Voting... now a problem due to linear rewards
I would say about 90% of the comments I come across on my posts or others are self-voted up. I've never seen a problem with this. To me, it's just people who believe their comments are valuable, and maybe want to get the ball rolling to attract other upvoters. I will admit, though, I don't understand the mathematical algorithms of upvoting, curating, or anything like that at all. I just upvote what I think is good content, or content written by people I want to support, and enjoy a few curation rewards as a result.
Well, I will say that it is wrong to ask someone how awesome is their stinky turd, because they will always tell you it's solid gold if you are going to pay them for it.
And when people start to realise they can just earn some reasonable baseline from posting nothing of consequence and then voting on it, the kind of people this appeals to will become a major demographic migrating in.
I agree we don't want that.
