I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, with massive 10% flags/DV, by the TOP whales, - when 1% would have been fair..... it killed the rep score and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily. Poorly thought out, at best.
Maybe we should wait and study the results and not judge it before it has even begun...? This is an experiment to improve the whole community´s output, so we may give it a try.
Its a poorly conceived experiment at best. More like we are being used as Guinea Pigs for a few whales. Nobody knows which whales are involved, which ones are not or how long the experiment will last. Now, I don't mind whales deciding to withhold their votes, thats fine, but using bullying and strong-arm tactics to try and force others to join their experiment is wrong. Meanwhile a whole lot of bad will is formed among content creators and steemit users who had no say if they wanted any part of it. I, for one won;t be posting anything of worth until this game ends.
Isn't the timing a bit off as well? Experimenting just before a new reward curve is implemented? Instant biased results after the hardfork.
Anyway, here's a Golden Pineapple for you to give away as a prize for whatever you see fit:
I disagree with the whole drama. Let´s just wait what happens and then create an opinion about it. It´s not the end of humanity - it´s just an experiment. Rewards are just distributed differently, they are neither denied nor reduced. I cannot find anything confusing about it. Maybe it´s going to improve performace in the middle run, who knows.
Hypothetical situation: I'm not going to vote this week and I demand that you don't vote too. Now, if you vote I will negate all your votes because I am more powerful. I will also get my friends to negate your votes. I just cant agree with that tactic on principle. peace.
This post has been ranked within the top 50 most undervalued posts in the second half of Mar 13. We estimate that this post is undervalued by $1.63 as compared to a scenario in which every voter had an equal say.
A downvote was applied to partially counter earlier whale votes as an experiment to reduce whale domination of voting influence. Not intended to express an opinion on the content nor result in a net reduction of rewards or reputation (automated notice)
A bot is downvoting and commenting on my post lamenting about the fact that a bot is downvoting and commenting on posts (to improve curation)...Its like I'm in Inception.
Also, banana for scale.
