RE: Shifting Tides in Dtube Waters - @nathanmars - Thank You!
I see what you mean regarding haejin. I do not think self up voting should be a thing. I will continue to look at this and form my final thoughts and opinions.
Now consider that the mentioned Greedy Steemians do the same thing as haejing but, just hide behind upvoting their friends who vote back.
Seanky fellas, eh?
I guess I will also need to study the affects that this behavior has on the Steem ecosystem. Because I think people are free to up vote how they please. I am strongly against the system allowing self voting even though I have done that myself when I first started and recently after hardfork 20 to see how thinks changed in way of curation rewards. How does this affect the community other than smaller accounts not getting up voted by those big accounts? There is still a lot I need to work out on this one. I very much appreciate your passion for the matter and the information that you provide. I checked out your graph as well. Very nice spread of up voting.
This deplets the reward pool which is produced at a fixed rate. Meaning that in the end all of our upvotes are worth less because they are taking a big portion of the pool.
At one point of time haejin was pulling an incredible 6% of all rewards.
We can only speculate on the destructive effects of their greed on the future of this platform but they are surely not good.
I am just happy you refer to it as a circle jerk. I was calling them reach arounds for a while, but this may be better.
