RE: This has been a demonstration of optimal posting strategy under Hardfork 20.
For someone who's not technical your observation are pretty astute
Here is a brief of the new logic:
- Discourage Self upvoter that guarantees position 1
- Forces Poster (with self or alt account) to set auto self-vote at 15mins and now have to compete with 1000 other minnows also with curation autovote at 15mins
- Puts back all curation reward in first 15mins into reward pool
Logic of your Argument (just using round numbers for logic argument sake):
- Let say Pure Reward Poll Abuser make up 10% of all reward today, bots make up 30%, and everyone else makes up 60%:
- So 40% of these Re-Pool Curation Rewards will go back to RewardPool Abuser Curation and Bots Curation from that 25%. Simplistically said that's max extra of 16%.
Q.E.D.
BUT Wait. Until Now Big Reward Pool Abuser is getting like 70-90% due to position 1 of self-upvote mechanism of that 25%. Losing that they may now go down to 40-60%, losing a minimal of 20% of curation.
Last i checked 20% > 16%
So it's still good. BUT this is a great argument to had, Kudos. Upvoted!
Sure, as long as you only care about how much abusers lose and not about how much anyone else loses, how easy it is for new users to understand, or how readable the site is. If you're just willing to throw all of those things out for your goal, then great, you've reduced a few abusers by a few percentages! Awesome!
1stly don't personalized as investors we all care about wholelistic goals of steem growth...if I just wanted to proof anyone wrong, i would be accusing you of sensationalizing a none-issue or a non-event, instead of honoring the discussion
that's a different issue and animal to address, there will be platform running off the blockchain that will address usability, but to be fair usability will also differ from generational usage to different segment of society, eg. those younger who love snap-chat may prefer to use appics and those who read wallstreetjournal online may prefer busy
you do know that the reward pool payout is like a zero sum game, the less an abuser get, the more there is for others? no sarcasm intended, just poiting out the obvious
