RE: Newton, Leibniz, and the Calculus of Steem
I more concerned with "second derivatives"
I should be doing my job actually reading posts and evaluating their merits.
But there's no time for that.
Whale's vote robotically and dolphins follow the whales and I must realistically assume that most minnows are "cheating" and just following the dolphins.
Thus, it simply does not pay to spend the extra time curating content.
I have to vote with the minnows who follow the dolphins who follow the whales.
In the limit, as time approaches, um, 30 minutes, all votes converge asymptotically to what the whales do. Not exactly what the original design intended?
This all depends on perspective. Do you mean paying off in terms of like consistently hitting posts in the hundreds of dollars? Maybe. But, as I said above, we all can't end up like Newton all the time. It still doesn't mean our contributions to the community aren't valued.
