Closed Beta of Smackdown Kitty begins

haha well what are the odds... pretty high since l0k1 sent me the last 10SP for me to be in the test ;)

Yes, well the problem is that it incentivizes very rich people to add nothing good to the platform but instead just "withdraw" a lot of money from the economy to each comment of theirs that only say "very good content I agree" or "follow me I follow u" etc.

Someone might choose to upvote their own comment that says "OK" in response to someone else and because that drained his voting power he didn't have as much to give to a user that actually said something of value. So the focus will be wrong and then all the small accounts will see this big "whale" upvoting himself and think he's being a prick, but maybe not dare say anything. They might even think it's disgusting enough to leave to a more "democratic" platform, which could ironically be Facebook or Reddit. :p

They can do as they want with their money, even buy other users to upvote them or use "sock puppet" accounts, but we're making a slight improvement on the rules within the system.

Yup. The thing is even if the Steemit system completely blocks self voting, there will always be new and more creative ways to 'coin it'

But yes, I suppose we aren't changing the entire world with this new bot, but we are progressing!
