RE: This has been a demonstration of optimal posting strategy under Hardfork 20.

@tcpolymath are you backing away from your assertion that this is taking money from the people's posts and sending it to the few that can afford to be "popular"? I hope not, because I think you hit the nail on the head with this one! I am eagerly awaiting your next post about it, if you think to let me know when its out that would be awesome!

No, it's just stated differently. Destroying your rshares - whether it's this method, voting on declined payout posts, flagging, or just sitting at 100% VP - distributes that part of your stake reward to active posts based on popularity.

I don't have plans for yet another post on the topic at this time, but nobody's come along to argue with me on the most recent one yet.

So I read your first post right?... I want to make sure because I want to make a stink at least a little if I read it right. Basically, they are taking money from the post and paying "someone other than" the curator or the author. And that someone will be the people who can afford to buy their posts to the top of the chain. Is that about it?

Omg 😮 very concerned.

@tcpolymath you helped me cause a stir... :P

Maybe the goal is to encourage/force people to buy into the system by raising the barriers for those that wish to join through posting content and curation? I can see how this could be attractive to an administration.
