RE: Your vote, squared: not everyone's vote is equal - insight into quadratic voting and why there wasn't linear rewards in the first place

in #steem7 years ago

I have not followed the upcoming potential changes to the current voting system, I liken it to DC, why would they (politicians) ever vote for term limits to end their reign? So why would those making huge sums ever want to change the system?
When I first joined last month I did notice constant schemes to get noticed and the best system to "buy" upvotes, if that much energy was spent encouraging members to recruit new members, I believe that would be a better use of energy and resources, than paying out huge sums for whalecake recipes.
Once I commented on a high-value post (one of the good ones) and saw an awful lot of whale-ass kissing, like giddy children trying to get a parent to notice them....
If you look at a board, like the Theranos board of directors or any other big company, that top leadership clearly is looking out for their own self-interests.. This isn't a complaint, just an observation..

Sort:  

Well they have incentives to ensure the system benefits users or the users will leave. This is where a lot of the complexity resides.

There will be ass kissing and everything between.

I don't see ass kissing getting 10 dollars much anymore.

Theranos? You mean the diagnostics scam? Yeah sure the were looking out for their asses.
