RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change

in #steem7 years ago

That appears to be a qualified yes, or at least a probably.

Let me try again.

Are you convinced that curation rewards incentivize 'bad' curation?

Sort:  

Yes, but not 100% bad. I think it incentivizes users to vote for content that they predict will be successful. The original idea was that content that is expected to be successful would be the same thing as content that was actually good. This has turned out to be false in a lot of cases, and it has contributed to the problem of a lot of quality content being overlooked because it is unlikely to get enough attention.

Thank you for a substantive reply!

I completely agree with you in this regard.
