RE: Do you blow your load in 1 minute?

in #steem5 years ago

Just a thought, but if voting becomes a race to the bottom in terms of earning curation rewards then it really doesn't help the best content get discovered.
"Blowing your load in a minute", as you elegantly put it, means that no one is actually reading the content of the post before voting which to me kind of defeats the purpose.

Sort:  

Yep, but it depends on who is doing this too as the content that should be rewarded would still get voted on top by people like yourself, the content that is getting frontrun for curation alone won't. Plus, you might choose that it is overrewarded and remove some of those curation returns with your 2.5 a day and instead place it on something that you think does deserve it.

I don't think it is going to pan out so accurately for curation as the voting bots will not be to the second. Not sure how it will all play out yet though, just speculation at this point.

Yeah, I was thinking about this a little more and it's true. I don't think the changes will influence the way I already vote that much. I guess the point is to try to encourage larger accounts to be more active with their stake/votes that aren't presently manually curating.
We'll see how it goes, right? I doubt the changes will solve the culture of greed but it's step in the right direction I feel.

The greed culture seems to be an endless cesspool, but perhaps for those who don't extract into it - a decent approach can be found that brings benefits without harming others.
Baby steps.
