RE: An Idiot's Guide To Committing Mass-Steemicide

I hope that you are right. The incentives for whales must be carefully crafted so that they make more money by individually behaving unselfishly (good for the platform, normal cells) rather than selfishly (bad for the platform, cancer cells).

Any system can be gamed. Economists call it "creative response". So incentives will never be enough. A real community mindedness must emerge in which unselfish people take ownership of the community and use "social coercion" to ostracize and otherwise punish those who act like cancer cells. "Evil prevails when those who are good do nothing."

Agreed Idea...following you now...I like how you think..this whale, dolphins, minnows is just too much....and we will need something when Twitter crashes... #justsaying

You won't be able to keep your intentions pure, @angelking. But if you resolve to do so, every once in a while you will forget your fear and, for a moment, be a channel through which God's love flows through you into the world. (Translate according to your beliefs.)

Wow...yes..yes...yes..thank you so much ...yes!

Your reply from the heart is worth more to me than a thousand replies from brilliant minds.
