I am not reading the comments. I have been sucked in to too many of these ridiculous back and forths and will not continue. I do want to say my piece.

@themarkymark cares for Steemit more than most. I only know him from his posts and from following this... "the conflict sent to destroy Steemit." Do not kid yourself... the token has hit all-time highs... but if this 'problem' is not solved... there are new lows to set as well (and I remember reading it was down at 7 cents for a time).

@themarkymark spent his new years eve trying to resolve this issue. He stuck his neck out knowing the consequences and did it anyway. He is still sticking his neck out... and the rewards may look good now, but could just as easily go down to zero before all is said and done.

This man is one who is not willing to let a place he loves die without at least a fight... and that is one of the reasons why he has my vote for witness.

The way I see it... @haejin and his followers are taking this conflict too personally and as such, seem to justify backlash. I do not agree with all of the tactics he has had to endure during this time... and for that I am sorry... I follow his work, and enjoy it. His work is good for the platform... Do I think he deserves to be paid $15000 / day? No. There are many people that do very well on a daily basis... and he very likely could sink down to the lowly levels of some of the mega whales who still post daily, and make $400 (according to the ticker).

The downvotes are not meant to hate or disrespect what he brings to the platform... he brings value to the platform... the downvotes (and upvotes for that matter) are merely meant to bring justice to the imperfect means of distributing rewards. There are many who are watching and sitting idly by hoping that steem doesn't go down the shitter... sitting idly by will send steem down the shitter.

I gave this post my 100% upvote... it might be up to 20 cents now! I gave this post and @themarkymark my support not because I dislike @haejin but because I love steemit and I want to see it flourish.

One day I hope to upvote one of @haejin's pieces... but as it stands I feel like he is getting more than enough. That means I hope that eventually everyone will see the light... this is NOT PERSONAL... this is about STEEMIT and keeping it a great place to write, read and hang out.

Thank you @themarkymark. You have my vote for witness... and if you become invisible on here... I will do what I can to help bring you back with my limited steempower and hopefully well thought out and presented perspective.

I upvoted this comment for visibility (and to cash in heavy because it seems to be all the rage right now).

This site is meant to be self-policing.

There is a way to stop abuse if you understand that there is a fixed pool of money generated every day. You stop voting for the posts that are draining the pot, and you start voting for other posts.

The second part is the most important - the more people vote for other stuff, the smaller haejin's share will be. Sadly people stopped voting when teh changes to the curation algorithm were introduced.

Well I think the main post, and the main idea presented in the comments negates this.
If you have the constant backing of just 1 whale, it doesn't matter if the community doesn't upvote his post.
It wouldn't matter if the community votes on other post, because a botnet, and fake accounts spamming one person will always win (especially with whales downvoted other post).

I already posted this higher up on in the comments on this post but I'll post it again since it's getting cluttery around here. :)

My solution:

Create a type of curve, perhaps a bell curve, in which voting power increases to a cetain point but then begins to exonentially slow it's increase in power as an account gets closer and closer to "whale" status. This will take a large chunk of voting influence away from the "whale elite" and put it back into the "dolphin middle class" where it belongs.

Who is a "they" in a decentralized platform? I'm hoping Steem Inc., not Steemit.com, implements the changes in a hard fork. If Steemit.com doesn't want to implement the new version then I'm sure someone with an understanding of the problem will create a new site based on the new version and with time people will realize the benefits of moving to the new site. Then the "whales" of Steemit.com can give each other upvotes all day; We'll be somewhere else. ;)

When people are investing their money on a project they should not get in return hate for being powerful.

The sole meaning of steemit is to present a solid investment proposal for them to tunnel their money towards.

Why should we be so close minded to not see the forest behind the tree. Those people are giving value to our shares. we should be treating them as they deserve to be treated for putting their money where their mouth is.

Sorry but that is the only way we should see this. Buying steem should not be treated as a malicious act, that will throw off a lot of investors. We cannot afford that as a platform that wants to become mainstream.

That is my opinion and I hope people could start looking at the bigger picture rather than crying about unfair rewards and so on. We will have all zero value if the investors abandon steemit, and that is something we should all be aware of. This is business.

How do you fix this? This cannot happen! If Steem is going to change the world it cannot have a toxic community and it must be fine-tuned. Greed is to be expected with this many people of all different backgrounds on the platform; however, there needs to be a solution. Perhaps a council of moderators that are elected by the community that can resolve issues such as this one?

$0.09

geekorner (58) · 7 years ago

To fix this, you're going to have to remove Whales from the system. Alternatively, you're going to have to introduce moderation to the system.

The system is centralized right now (by whales), so you either turn it truly decentralized, or introduced a higher centralized force.

Or you trust in the Free Market and trust the other whales will take action, which costs them money, it must be noted.

7 votes

notoriousrebel (39) · 7 years ago

Do you think the idea of a council of moderators trusted by the Steem community who would oversee such conflicts and step in would be a feasible idea? People are fueled by greed so I doubt other whales will take action as it would cost them money though I would like to be wrong. Morality can be corrupted by money and doing the right thing at a great cost puts a bad taste in people's mouth.

$0.00

geekorner (58) · 7 years ago

No.

I used to moderate a very large subreddit. Steemit lacks, but can add, tools that you need for effective moderation, though it'd take a while.

The problem is money. You'll have users who can say one cannot gain said value, or exercise their money-bought "rights." And said moderators will have to somehow resist acting on stuff that impacts them, and people will flock to them.

And if you elect them based on the voters' steem power, then you're not solving anything, because then the rich will appoint the people who are supposed to oversee them? Yeah, no.

We need community based validation. Human nature can not be changed. Animals will always resort to violence and retaliate when provoked. We need to develop solutions that force greedy people to play nice and share in order to be greedy.

The problem with a council of moderators is that they are people. We should try to avoid solving human nature problems with solutions that can be exposed by human nature.

You need a better designed system that is flexible for different users but has clear bounds on undesirable behavior.

If you can do it, then it should be allowed.

That being said there are some corrective mechanisms built into Steem. Flags. They just don't work very well and require fallible humans to implement. This would suggest we need a more rigid change through code rather than placing our faith in human relations. The internet is filled with narcissistic greedy trolls who forget that they are human.

So, to answer your question: probably the 2nd, or a little bit of both.

All animals including humans will go for the easy food first rather than have to work for their meal.

Steemit accounts taking advantage of the rewards pool reminds me of the Yellow Stone Bears back in the late 1800 until 1970 when everyone fed them and they had free access to the garbage dumps. Once they closed down the dumps and didn't allow people to fed the bears many died because they didn't know how to forage for food. Let's not let steemit get that far!

@themarkymark, this problem could be solved by changing the algorithm for calculating voting power. If users' voting power were calculated based on their interaction with the platform and its users, then it would be impossible for users to make large deposits and up/downvote with impunity without exposing themselves to corrective voting by other steemit users. I outline this a bit more in my most recent post, and would love to have additional feedback or buy-in from witnesses.

themarkymark (78) · 7 years ago

Every option you come up with, there is likely way to abuse it. Bots could abuse the scenario you present. That's the tricky thing, it isn't an easy problem to solve. There are lots of good ideas, but almost all of them have low effort/ low-cost ways to get around it.

$0.02

jaredcwillis (60) · 7 years ago

Sure, bots could abuse it, and inevitably some would slip through the cracks, but their required interaction would still expose them to correction in the form of downvoting. We see that with spam bots now. Eventually they get downvoted to nothing. My proposal won't fix the problem of people trying to game the system overall, but it would provide a recourse for the ivory tower user that buys SP, doesn't expose themselves to downvotes or interact with the community and up/downvotes in ways that go against the communities' values.

I am a newbe here and actually had some interaction with the individual in question. Similar to some others on this thread, why is there such a hatred for this man? Please forgive my ignorance, only been here a few days.

Because he is very successful and heavily rewarded by his followers for his posts... Others think that the money/reward pool should be spread out "more evenly". The problem is steemit, not haejin. He is using the platform like he is supposed to, by creating valuable content. he is not breaking any rules, even if he uses bots, as his attackers uses bots too..

Not followers but a follower to be precise. Yes, he has a lot of upvotes but mainly the rewards come from one account upvoting him.

This sounds like Digg all over again. Digg was a website just like Steemit, where users contributed stories and stories that got a lot of "diggs" (upvotes) rose to the top. Anyways, there were powerusers of Digg that controlled all of the content. Their stories would always make it to the top and the rest of us little guys without followings struggled to ever make it to the front page.

This is a real big concern for Steemit because this is a community driven by monetary gain. You can't just shrug it off as "no big deal" because money is at stake. It's possible that you could be the first to post some hot piece of news happening in the world and your story gets buried because the powerusers of Steemit with huge following decide to write the same story as you. You won't have a chance.

If I have 10 wet shirts and it takes ten min. for each shirt to dry, how long will it take me to dry all my shirts on a clothesline?

Please I need help with this...

oakling (44) · 7 years ago

If you can put all 10 wet shirts on the same clothesline, it will take a total of 10 minutes for all your shirts to dry.

Don't get caught in the crossfire. Lol. Just kidding. But those are the guys that can handle the situation on ground. How does a single account post more than 5 times a day and consistently earn over $200 on every single post? He will end up destroying the platform and probably move on to something else. It's irrational greed.
