RE: Downvote Pool Deep Dive

in #steem • 6 years ago

Honestly is a downvote even needed? And if YES then there is a bigger issue.

If someone is going to come on here and just post garbage but has a ton of steem power to their name who are we to say they can or can't post it ?

The only time I have ever seen downvotes really used was when whales are attacking other people which seems totally unfair.

Why not just leave it as only upvotes. You have the choice to upvote good content but if you don't feel it is worthy well then simply you don't upvote it.

This to me seems like the easiest solution to everything.

Perhaps something else needs to be looked into if we are worried about crap content being upvoted crazy high. Or then again maybe we shouldn't care if they are holding a 300k steem power up ?

        IF we could make the change to a Huey Long algorithm that prevented huge extractions of Steem by financially manipulating rewards, bidbots and self voters would find new businesses. I have proposed dividends from funding development of SPS proposals. However, spam and plagiarism would still remain, and flags would be able to continue to solve those problems - as they do now.

                                I am pretty sure 90% of steemit is self voting anymore honestly. Remove downvotes and remove self voting. Everything would go to bot upvotes. We been through this battle for the last two years and nothings changed I don't see how it would honestly. Unless bots where removed, self voting was removed so you would be forced to vote others content.

                                      The only effective measure against self-voting is downvoting. If you are right that 90% of steemit self-voting then it is strong evidence that this proposal is needed.

                                                  False. The Huey Long algorithm would limit huge payouts and eliminate the ability of profiteers to extract nominal funds by manipulating rewards.

                                                                                      Like flaggot, but for people that buy their own trophies.
