I think the voting collusion is the tragedy of common, whales just care more about their own benefit than the platform.

Sort:  

@logic @laonie I think it is a combination of three things:

  • Content filtering isn't working properly because voting rewards are so heavily weighted towards whales
  • That isn't balanced out by wisdom of the crowds because people don't engage slowly with the content that is there (partly because it's hard to find and/or disappears too quickly).
  • Content quality is, barring some exceptions, not enough to pull people in on its own - and rewards seem too random to justify the effort of posting long term.

I've started a series on using graph theory to grow the Steemit network - at the moment, the trajectory Steemit is on is towards excessive centralisation, when it needs to be decentralising, and diversifying, the network to grow for the long term.

Great that you realize that but you are one of whales . I'm sorry for asking but what have you, actually done to change that? Aren't you doing exactly the same?

I have checked steemstats and you have not voted on any regular suer post even once. Most of your upvotes within last 7 days have been carefully selected for the whales around here:: somebody, klye, fyrstikken, jasonmcz, thecryptofiend

I cann't reply on your last post, so i reply here, You are right, it's human nature to vote for their friends first, i am one of the whales, i am one of the normal human, you cann't rely on me or other normal human to change, the rules need to be changed.

@logic -- that might be true, but unlike most of the whales, iiuc laonie bought in with his own money after the price increase. say what you want, the man has his money where his mouth is. @laonie the biggest problem is that all the whales here are so busy developing the platform (almost all of them are whales because theyre the orig programmers/developers), that they only have time to follow and vote on people that they know. I hope you guys in #cn give it a chance. China got btc where it is today, i was really pumped when you guys showed up.

Laonie, also you are one of the whales, but you are doing things that others are not, you are directly sending SBD to new users, you are upvoting a lot of people, with a wide variety of opinions and on a wide variety of topics. Not everyone may see it, but I've looked and I know you are working hard to be a solution to the problem.

Please don't upvote this comment either. I just wanted you to know, that's all. :)

Time is also a big problem. There are a few whales and I suspect they have little time so they tend to upvote what seems like it would be successful to them. This should improve over time with better distribution but understandably that won't happen if people get scared away too soon.

Lol @logic now I'm a whale? I'm just a fat minnow at best:)
