RE: Self voting will now NOT be default steemit.com behaviour
"flagging the top rewarded comments every day, let's say the top 4 or so"
I disagree with this. Flagging top 4 comments without review is abuse of power and discourage those who provide quality comments. I suggest do a manual review first and see if they deserved the pay.
The flag will never exceed the self-awarded payout. If others also upvoted it, they still get that component of the reward. The abuse is in being top four... We will be talking about comments with rewards probably in excess of $10.
Hillary clinton might get paid a hundred bux or more just to say a couple of words but I don't think anything could possibly be worth that much, and from the statistics, likely we are talking about quite a bit in excess of such a high reward.
sorry but you sound like a socialist! whats next? Noone "deserves" to make more than $100,000 a year?
"the abuse is in being top four"
WOW so you think its ABUSE of steemit to succeeed and be on top? wtf?
And u bring up hillary clinton and her pai speeches as an example haha wtf we all hate hillary but her paid speeches were not for the fact that she spoke somewhere, that was pay forplay money she was acceptng bribes as money for a "speech" thats all, bad analogy , very conffusing
and look, if a commentgets over $10 who are ou to say thats too much money?
Look you have a real problem if you think peopel dont deserve to make a smuch as they make!
this is a ffree market and if u go flagging people blindly just because they make money, espect to get flaggeed yourself! People will retaliate! i wont but others will! someoen will nvest millions into stempower JUST to help anyone whose been auto flagged unfairly!
But hey u have your free market power to flag and take rewards away! I just hope u never make verymuch money here so u dont end up with very much power if this is howw u are going to be using your power, to punish people for being succesful and popular
Not everyone deserves to get steem for their shit comments! minows stay poor because their content sucks!Just like how poor people in real life stay ppoor because they are bad with money! if a minnow isnt makeing much money thats their own fault! NOTthe fault of some whale who is making more thanthem! if you have good content then it will rise to the top!
The ONLY excuse I can think of for flaggging succcesful steemitusers is if they cash out and dont hold steem or steempower or SBD! by cashing outw hen they amke thousands a day, that is bad for teem price ans we as community can excersize our free markiet power to downvote
Look whatever u are gonan doo what u want
But dont accuse others of cheating or unfairlly making money just because u dont make that much!
Its shitty to arbitrarily decide how much someone should be allowed to make with their posts or comments
On the contrary, a manual review would rely on our subjective judgement of what abuse is. While there's nothing wrong with that, we aim for this to be impartial. It operates under the premise that all self voting is bad, and that those who gain the most from self voting are having the greatest effect on the reward pool, which is one of the problems of self voting.
Personally I don't agree with the idea that comments "deserve" pay. Reward is decided on by votes, which are given freely. Further, no one deserves to pay themselves, that is our core position on this.
noone deserves to pay themselves? WHy not? What if they booight steempower and havent beenmaking much off it, steem price tanks, and they just want to make some money back?
if self voting was "undeserved" or somehow bad we wouldnt be allowed to do it at all!
Buts ory, if u can self vote, you can! and please dont make peope feel guilty for doing it!
its your rightto upvote yoru own comments! U CAN pay yourself and so why not?
Hopefully control freaks wont ever end up with very much steempower and flags from jelous people wont ever amount to much!
I really just wish people would stop this whole nonesnese of arbitrarily deciding how much someone is allowed to make everyday
Not all posts are created equal! if someone is getting a ton of upvotes, and those upvotes are from accounts with high steempower, why would you try to stop that?
Noone deserves anything here!
Im tired of minnows acting like it would be better if everyone just got the same amount of money for their posts, yeah that would createa sitruation where noone would ever try to make uality posts!
some posts can explain how a developer wrote some AMAZIING nw feature for steemit! Or someonee can sppend 1 year on a documentary about steemit and release it on ONE post
SO that post ddoesnt deserve to make tens of thousands of dollars?!?! A post releasing some dnew feature programmed from scratch for months and months and fnally released in one steemit post with link to the github post, that kind of post doesnt deserve to make it on top and earnthousands? what if someone actyally works so hard that they release a new upgradeto steemit or a new steemit documentary veryday for a week! and they getto the front page 7 days in a row! Are they not allowedto reap the rewards of all their hardwork ?
its ddoesnt MATTER how often someone is succeesful! thats ther choise!
some peopel work harder than others and f they can get thousands of dollowersto upvote everyone of their daily posts, thenmaybe you should try harder instead of trying to find some fundamental problem with steemit to just explain the inequality away as a symptome of som larger problem with free markets....yeah we need more free maret mre freedom NOT more control!
