Discussed Steemit on Alex Jones Infowars Today

Do you know if you vote with less than 30% weight then smooth won't downvote the same post, then the author will get more rewards?

That is good to know, thank you @abit.

ew no why did you tell him this deserves downvotes the infowars crowd is not what we want here

"the infowars crowd is not what we want here"

As you can see (comments, upvotes, views) it is not "we".
"Some of us", even if "most of us", still doesn't mean "all of us".

Here is the thing:
One of the greatest features of this platform is that even if we can say we do not want someone or something here, there is nothing we can do about it. Of course you can downvote to minimize visibility of a content but it would still be somewhere there on the blockchain.
There are a lot of people, that are wrong about something.
They are all welcome to be wrong on Steem :-)

"Steem: The wrong people in the right place" (TM)

man. you're really butthurt by this.

sorry I don't tend to like it when the average iq of a platform I'm on drops to 40 lmao

[insert equally useless ad hominem insult here] kek

Wow...this is stunning. Alex has been right on quite a bit. Like him or not...

Says the communist lmao

I am certain you can not even correctly define communism.

Please read this. You will understand capitalism well enough to understand why other systems exist.

I actually do get it - I basically majored in Communist theory and history. There's no chance it can work because it has no method to measure and organize value. Without that it makes no difference who is in power (dictators vs democracy vs local direct democracy) - everyone is poor, and it can be proven logically and mathematically. Use your common sense. And let me ask this - what happens if you don't work? I assume you'd force people to work if you didn't want society to collapse. Yes, communism is such a compassionate system.

"what happens if you don't work" you get the equivalent of everything you produce

value is the amount of human labor it takes to create

Ok, so apparently @blakemiles84 and infowars guys had a lot more luck than me, because at least, you already told them why they deserve downvotes.

But out of curiosity, why you flagged my comment?
You don't agree or just misunderstood or else?

(Another great feature of this platform: all reasons including no reason are equally valid)

So I'm confused... if MY vote was less than 30%, I wouldn't be downvoted by Smooth? Can I fix this? I wasn't aware of this setup. Been out of the loop a bit.

I was talking to @thejohalfiles.

What is the reasoning behind this less than 30% thing ? Something due to the reward pool and the experiment being run? - Do you see whales like us being able to vote with 100% weight down the road w/o messing with the reward pool unfairly? I will continue to do what is best for the platform and help in any way possible @abit.

I prefer a solution that makes people want to horde their sp.

Yes, due to the "experiment". More info here: https://steemit.com/steem/@abit/whales-no-voting-experiment-going-on

Final solution would need a curve change, then we don't need to set another limit.

I heard a linear curve proposal is coming....

Insider!

That IS good to know

Im not sure what you are saying @fuzzyvest please elaborate

That upvoting with over 30% will give you downvotes from smooth. Im not in agreement with the method (at least if we want people to honestly want lots of sp)...but nice to know regardless.

Yes I believe things will improve. Eventually I will have more SP than smooth and the rest of them at this rate. With that said I believe smooth has good intentions.

Amen.

I agree with the intetions of all the whales. I just think i have a better solution than whales downvoting everyone in terms of free market ;)
