RE: The Incentives of Steemit - Part 1 Unitentended Consequences
I wonder how incentives would change if we ended delegation. There would be less large bots voting but then again auto voting services will remain and only certain authors would make the majority of the list.
Or maybe we need incentives for flagging inappropriate or overvalued content.
How do you determine what is overvalued content?
You upvoted your own comment (something I don't have a problem with) instead of finding a quality post to upvote. In many people's minds, this makes it overvalued...
I don't like flagging on the site at all, but that is just my preference...
Self upvote of comment is to attract attention and jump over all the thanks posts.
There is definitely a gray area of what is overvalued. A model could be developed comparing Steemit Article Quality verse Freelance Writers. I do not even know what freelance earns per article but I am sure someone knows the answer.
There are definitely some black and white cases. The other day I saw a post commenting on one individual with $28 comment self upvotes which were all just thanks or other spam.
Don't need to end it completely, just disincentize it by making it less worthwhile.
Power in your own hands is more lucrative than power loaned to someone else.
