RE: Whales upvoting chosen accounts crap for the rewards is one thing, attacking the rewards of a genuinely productive account is utter madness
Returns comes from the increase in value not increase in the number of steem .
Removing bots and the bad voting incentives would make the platform instantly more valuable, businesses will be more interested to integrate steem and the trending page would look a lot better quality wise.
If curation rewards are removed , whales would be a lot more likely to share their voting power for the good of the platform and they will also spread their upvote a lot more which will increase retention.
Curation rewards is the reason of this greedy mentality that is killing steemit right now and I for one am glad to hear that dan want to remove them.
Aw! I knew Dan was in favor of eliminating curation reward for a long time now but I hadn't realized all the implications. This one in particular that you just mentioned.
There might be others reasons and I would be interested in reading about them. I think this reason is enough for me to actively ask people to begin to consider eliminating curation rewards.
