RE: This has been a demonstration of optimal posting strategy under Hardfork 20.
when is this ridiculous change going to take place?
We don't know.
I'm going to write up a new post with a clearer discussion of this issue based on the long discussion with eonwarped here, if anyone you tagged wants to wait for that. This one is really something of a shitpost that went viral somehow.
@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?
Yes.
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.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention @davemccoy. And thanks Tim for highlighting it in this post.
I have to do some more reading to get a better understanding. Don’t recall this as a conclusion after studying the initial hf20 proposal. Or is there anything new, recently suggested?
When you get time it would be great to know what you thought. It does seem like they are taking money from people's posts and then giving it to reward the higher earning posts! The rich get richer!
