RE: Trying out vote-bying
Yes, this touches upon some of my thoughts about this platform. I have seen people win politically because they played foul and then... nothing, they get away with it. People seem to think that they are smart. And meanwhile we artists are out there with the lumpen proletariat anyways and are considered dodgy and half criminals and freebooters. So my only regret is that the owners of the bots get away with all the money.
@tipu profit for 11,486 SP
Yesterday 11486.0 STEEM POWER delegated or invested gave payout of:
1.177 SBD + 3.485 STEEM (3.21 USD), APR: 16.78% .
Delegation link: steemconnect 11486.0 SP delegation to @tipu.
Please note that your profit can be slightly different (depending on the payout time).Check out https://www.steemprofit.info to compare @tipU with other services.
Just checking what you would get if you delegated all your SP to Tipu. I'm curious that way 8-).
I am always curious, but one thing I like to do here it is voting directly at the good posts and comments. I haven't really delegated anything yet, but just tried to upvote all the funny people. The boring investors can vote for themselves.
And they do!
But yes, there's nothing like manual curation, but it is losing the numbers game.
It's a design flaw really. Fork this shit! What is your view on this proposal?
Quoting myself:
"As long as a large percentage of the big wallets want to optimise their ROI and tune their algorithms to that end, and prefer to be content-agnostic, you can fiddle with the percentages until the cows come home and bend the reward curve into a bow tie, but nothing will change for the better. They will just adjust their, um, doings accordingly and carry on. Steemit is now for making money with money, not for making money with content, and I don't believe that will change anymore."
I don't believe it will work at all, but then, I am a cynic. I'm all for trying it though, as long as it can be rolled back when it doesn't work. All these discussions based on economic theories are fruitless, as there are no economic models that predict well; it's all just an exchange of opinions without progress in knowledge. Only trying things will get us further.
I think @nonameslefttouse's proposal could be more fruitful; I don't know if you have seen it in the past?
Nothing cynical about that. Libertarianism isn't working as an economic theory. The best societies are European social democracies that uses taxes to circulate the wealth and power a bit. Even the US has to do it, but instead of public healthcare they give their population sleeping guards at the many military facilities, obsolete war machines and War.
I have seen @nonameslefttouse's proposal and felt about the same about it: doubting but interested. And we are not going to see a tax that sends money to the poor newbies, so i am interested in whatever comes up :)
There are no working economic theories, I think; all unscientific bollocks best left to people with religious inclinations. Trial and error is all that we have, but I agree social democracies and the Rheinland Model seem to yield the most happy people.
BTW I wonder what percentages and curves Weku uses. It has many flaws, like the initial distribution, just one witness, a lot of scamming and spamming, and it is uncertain if Weku will ever be traded, etc., but despite all that, my experiment with posting there shows a more pleasant and reasonable set of rewards; the numbers somehow look better and more even. Nobody knows where Weku is going, there is that, of course, but still.
They don't have an open API so there are no bots, maybe it is just that, and attempts at bots have been squashed by the powers that be so far.
Note that this is not an advertisement for Weku; post there at your own risk, and a risk it is. It is just worth having a look there to see what happens and compare it with Steemit.
Yes, agree. The European model works as long as it is pragmatic and use utilitarism without calling it ethics. At least it is better than the anglo-saxon pursuit if shabbiness. But the whole thing seems to spiral down the moralist drain right now.
I will have a look at weku and I also forund whaleshares. Are they both Steem clones?
