RE: Self-voting, Vote Trading and Enlightened Game Theory
The difficulty of analysis isn't as severe as the flag disincentive problem. I work on many such tools as @steemreports.
If somebody only has a profit motive, trying to change their behaviour though appeals to morality or long-termism won't work as well as changing the economic incentives.
No, it's through appeals to profit, you can flag them and remove their incentive, they will then have to power down and move on, find another sucker. If people call it out, if we become aware of it then it's very much our responsibility then to correct it. If we try to appeal to the few fence sitters by compromising our authors then I think we're shooting ourselves in the foot. If flagging doesn't work (ultimately) then maybe we should consider something else, but why tax the content producers for the acts of a few?
