Addressing the Reward Pool Abuse - Linear Rewards & Exponential Flags

in steemit •  7 years ago 

If hate to see this place get abused for personal gain. I can see why going back may prevent whales fighting each other and using all their weight. Is going back the best method or is there another one to explore. Let people buy upvotes is the worst thing. Most new posters do not realize they should not up vote their posts.

I'm not suggesting going back entirely - just returning the flag curve to n^2. The upvote curve is great as a linear n as it gives more weight to the upvotes of almost all users (all users bar the heaviest).

This allows for effective negating of the upvotes used to abuse the rewards system.
