Let's Have a Discussion on: Self Voting and Flagging

This is a good example of the split in opinion on this platform. Because Steemit is both a creative platform and a good investment it has two clear sets of users. Ones who put alot of effort into content and creativity and ones who put alot of capital in, both who feel they deserve reward. It will be interesting to see how it pans out, personally I think its a problem that can't be resolved. The platform has already changed enormously in the past couple of months with the price of Steem rocketing, as the price of Steem has risen so the quality of content has decreased.

This is very true. There is a lack of quality compared to similar paying content on other platforms. I think part of the problem is you need content creators who are also interested in cryptocurrency. On YouTube or Instagram my posts are worth very little, but the same post here earns me $20 - $100. I'm overpaid but compared to others here I might even be underpaid. This is a problem any platform has though. Initially the early adopters become powerful no matter how deserving.

Edit: Do you think a reinvest in myself button could solve things?

Explain how that what would work, reinvest in myself, sounds interesting?

Instead of people making all these bullshit posts let them just take the potential interest and lose their voting power. The issue would be it could kill Steem if everyone just took that option. The idea definitely needs work, but at least you wouldn't have whale circle jerks where newbies see two sentence posts making hundred or even thousands and get discouraged.

Seems reasonable. Theres certainly alot of discontent building thats for sure. Lets hope the system is fluid enough that it can adapt to the consensus like other blockchain tech , if not then a different platform will come about sooner or later. Alot of people forget before Facebook there was "FaceParty" lol

Based on past HFs I'd say we're fluid enough to easily adapt when needed.
