RE: Does self voting needs to be stopped in steemit.com
That's what I'm thinking. Like anything in life, the first person to help you stand up is yourself. The second are your parents. There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a leg up and asking your friends and relatives to help.
Do you think that people doing that practically?? They just doing that for using the loophole of social media I think. They are doing that everyday and all content.
Whenever you take a bite of food are you doing that for yourself or someone else? Whenever you choose a job, are you doing that for yourself or someone else? It is normal human behavior to put self first. In fact, without putting one's self first, it is impossible to help others. I have no problem with people promoting themselves first. But those who do not remember the community that built them will eventually fail. Look at how many whales have lots of followers yet they follow no one else. Look at how many get lots of upvotes but never upvote anyone else. How long do you think people will really follow them in hopes that they'll repay the favors? Eventually people shun those who become too greedy. Having the competition encourages the coalitions and team building that minnows engage in in order to get ahead. Those who engage in this team building and work their way up by producing good genuine content are going to remember their friends when they become wales. Those who were previously following greedy whales will rapidly shift their attention to the wales who were generous.
Exactly, the same view I have and I have wrote this post couple days ago, Please check it out here : https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptopizza/why-you-do-not-make-money-even-with-enough-votes-and-good-content-does-self-voting-needs-to-be-banned-in-steemit
I think the solution is rather than having Steemit force a change on the next hardfork, do what you are doing by building a coalition of minnows to make change from within the community. The free market always works best.
Good content always prevails. On the web, content is king. All of the social media had crap posts in the very beginning. Over time, content improved. The same will hold true here as well.
