RE: Game of Flags - a "fun" Redistribution Game - WIN STEEM by flagging
Isn't NOT voting the common way to NOT add value to a certain content - hence to express our disagreement? Isn't the decision to NOT transfer Steem Power to an author the way we are able to express that we don't like or don't wanna support a specific content? I've always thought that a flag is an 'alarm system' only to be used in 'emergency situations' when a certain content could be a threat for the community (disrespect, racism etc).
There is a budget. When 50% of the rewards is going to one account, by not voting I am agreeing that I am OK with that. There isn't an unlimited amount of SP to transfer. As more and more rewards go to @steemsports (as each vote on top of the last gets bigger) more and more rewards are actually being taken away from everything else.
I perceive a vast majority of the rewards pool going to one account to be a serious threat to the system. You are entitled to disagree.
I don´t disagree, just try to think about an alternative solution to flagging. Because I don´t think that it would lead to the desired effect in the long term. Your post got flagged several times, I am not sure if this was your aim here.
The smoothest way to re-establish balance would be creating more attractive content / products. If there was a really good alternative to steemsports (not only in financial but also entertaining way), the problem would disappear. Maybe the solution is not in attacking the monopoly but trying to position competitors.
steemsports isn´t actually my thing since I am interested in other type of content, but I comprehend the attraction.
It was expected. I don't think the system works without the downvote. As a curator we decide if something should be rewarded more or less. It seems the consensus is to only vote things up, but ignore anything that it says right there in the whitepaper not to ignore.
50% of the rewards are not going to steemsports. I doubt that is even the gross amount (not 100%) sure, but beyond that, to be accurate you would have to subtract the portion that is redistributed not only to the voters on the posts but also the authors and editors who contribute to each post and get a share of the rewards.
You're right, that was a thoughtless exaggeration.
Here are the top rewarded accounts of the last 30 days.
Given those numbers I would guess it actually is close to 50% (post rewards over 30 days is probably something close to 160K STEEM). Still as I indicated a large portion of that does not go to steemsports itself, despite that being the first stop on its way to its eventual recipient.
Well then around 50% of the SP from the rewards pool goes and stays with @steemsports. If you don't see that as problematic then I have little faith in your judgement.
Another one bites the dust.. Happy Christmas.
