RE: Is there a Vote-for-Vote (V4V) app?

in #steem6 years ago

Haha thanks, I always make a point to use the funny or satire tag in case..

I guess in the end a high percentage of steemians would get into vote collusion if they were given the chance.

Yup which is why some of us are proposing a re-alignment in economic incentives (with maybe 50% curation rewards, increased downvotes, and moving slightly away from pure linear rewards). If voters get back roughly half their votes given out, there should be way more curation going on and the activity wouldn't be losing out as much to trading away votes.

Sort:  

I tend to agree with this. Manual curation should be encouraged and increasing curation rewards is one way of doing that. Of course, by selling your vote you get curation rewards also, but the bot operator gets a cut. I have a hunch that there are fence-sitters among the large-SP holders who would manually curate more if the curation rewards were bigger.

Had me at increased downvotes. So, what factor do you think would be appropriate. I am a big fan of flags so may be too extreme but I would be thrilled at a 2:1 downvote to upvote ratio.

I think that sure as hell would go a long way to clean up the bid botted mess that is trending sea of overvalued shitposts all over the places such as certain whales self voting yt links with nothing added.
