RE: Improving the Economics of Steem: A Community Proposal

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

what if i told you you already have an incentive to downvote.jpg

By the way, the whole point of communities (backed by SMTs) was to avoid the need for STEEM itself to implement "what if" scenarios.

Sort:  

Yes, bring in the SMTs and Communities 100% x infinity before going ahead with these changes. Do that, then see how better or worse things get. Priorities. SMT. Communities.

Yes.

What if I told you ...

Then you would mostly be wrong. There is an extremely weak indirect incentive, but there is also an extremely strong direct disincentive. You can't properly understand the system without considering both, and in doing so it is clear that the latter mostly overwhelms the former, both in theory and in practice.

This coming from someone who has probably downvoted close to the most of anyone in Steem's history.

I 100% agree with you as said in my comment. Also I think there are some more merits focusing on SMT instead of many "what if"s
