RE: Abuse Series: No Attribution Required?

in #abuseseries7 years ago

That piece of shit @lordofreward is sniping even your posts now. That is an entire form of abuse that an account of over 1000 sp gives you a vote of 0.75%

Great post keep fighting the good fight!

Consider it voted me around 10-minute mark, I'm not sure how much he would get.

There is no harm in curation, regardless of when and how. He gave out a free vote at an attempt to get early curation reward. There is no abuse or harm.

A dust vote of nothing is curation? That is all @lordofreward ever does.

Not the best curation, and certainly not manual, but it is curation.

I always thought the idea of curation was to find quality content and upvote it so others would notice it?
This is like gambling for curation hoping that if you microvote on something that everyone else will upvote and reward it. Therefore reward you because you guessed it was good.

That's good curation, there is little to no good curation on Steemit. There are a lot of accounts (big and small) that blindly vote all posts or a subset of them to get curation rewards. There is actually a bot called Winfrey that does exactly that.

It's not ideal, but it is harmless, and a free vote is a free vote. The entire curation system is broken at its core.

I actually read the post and comments I vote on. I enjoy reading good content. I almost never upvote post with big rewards from bots. Its seems like a lost cause.
I have a small amount of auto voting that I do. It is about 10% of my stake.

I agree with you the system is broke, but has it ever been fixed?

It seems all coding is like that. Then they can charge the users to fix it! Its some crazy shit but somehow the computers only lack one thing. GOOD CODE!

We are left treating symptoms using means from the current system because people who can actually change things refuse to budge.

Yeah, especially when curators don't really get that 25% most of the times. I'm okay with this.
