Just get rid of post voting

in steem •  6 years ago 

Since curation is not prioritised even by Steem’s economy anymore, and bidbots are wildly popular.. what’s the point of content rankings, curation, post payouts and all? The voting mechanism is just an empty gimmick then.

Steem is definitely not becoming the Mecca of great content and ideas. Just make all content offchain since it’s fully editable anytime soon. Vote on accounts instead. Yea I know that I don’t even make sense anymore.

Hahahaha, why not get ride of the money element at all? Maybe Steem can become more like a loyalty point; One can trade it for some Steem goodies; Or why not use Steem as a point system to count the number of 'likes', seems to be successful at other more traditional social media :)

Loyalty point = money hahah

Correct, but with a more closed system and no official trading between different types of loyalty points, therefore it takes the volatility out of the equation. Added to that Loyalty points are experienced differently by people, knowing one can only get some products from the loyalty program.

But yeh, loyalty points is kinda money, so maybe the points shall be just an indicator for the value of all the likes without any 'monetary' element connected to the points :)

this comment is turning to a white paper already. i am scared of white papers lol.

Hahahaha, turn the night mode on and suddenly you'll have a blackpaper, that shall be less scary :)

I think bidbots do more harm than good and they shouldn't be allowed. Look up at the whitepaper of smoke network, they have some ideas to change it, one of them being that rewards are 50% curation and also your voting value will not only depend on how much stake you will have but a lot more factors.

They don’t see to have the network effect though, and the name itself seems quite limiting hmm

Their mainnet will be ready by this Quarter 3 and online. They are a community much like steemit but aimed at cannabis users and there main objective is fight censorship and bring cannabis related information.
At the beginning i wasn't so sure, but after lot of research, and knowing that facebook sometimes bans cannabis related projects and there is a lot of worlwide interest i think its a network with lots of potential, but offcourse less users than steemit.
I like the idea of 50% curation and that the vote value depends on stake, reputation, number of followers and more factors.
I also like their marketing strategy and that companies that want to publicize their products can do so by buying and paying in SMOKE coin and it will be shown to the users of the network.
Their total coin supply is also low 42 000 000. I invested in their ICO and i have good expectations.
