of genius!

If vote buying is purely about reaching a bigger audience, then vote buyers shouldn't mind declining rewards.

After all, they arent wanting to rape the reward pool by receiving rewards not voted to them by a noncolluding other, right?

And it's not like they are losing the money they pay for the vote, it will be divided between all of us that get votes.

Their donations will pay us all for having to put up with their ads taking up space on our hot and trending pages.

Genius, I tells ya, genius.

Now, I can see why they may object if nobody else minds being a rapist and doesn't decline payout.

So, we should all downvote those that buy votes but don't decline payouts.

We wouldn't want to be seen as soft on abuse, now would we?

We can start with @transparencybot's list to get the worst of them first.

It looks like I am going to have to adjust my voting habits to leave some room for the rapists.

I hope you will join me in defending the value of our votes from those that take away from them with their greed.

If earning rewards is a bad thing then feel free to give me all of yours. :) lol

Earning rewards is the whole point of the platform.
Buying them defeats the purpose.

Any rewards not voted to you by a noncolluding other are ill gotten gains.

If people want to sell their votes and earn a ROI why not let them? I think it helps the value of steem.

Because they come to dominate the platform and push out the people that dont want to pay to play.

Steem was predicated on helping others, not grabbing it all for yourself.

I don't need it all. 10% of a trillion dollar platform would still be $100 billion. :) lol

Right, all you got to do is take the dollars away from the venezuelan users that can eat all month for the price of one of your lattes.

I think they'd be better off with 10% of $1 trillion vs 10% of $1 billion.
I don't do caffeine so I'm not sure what I would blow my money on. I think I'd try and buy better leadership but that might only cost $1 billion.

Its just a fact in the math, vote sellers take food out of the mouths of folks that dont need all that much to get by.
Left to the minnows, steem gets mass adoption and the price goes to equalibrium.
Raped by the crapitalusts it flounders along enriching the insiders at the expense of the new fools.

Thanks for this...I'm new on here and just getting to grips with this system. It's nice to find someone with sound morals. I was hoping for meritocracy on here...I guess it's not as straightforward as that. Interesting to see how this platform evolves over time.

Welcome, aboard.
There is definetly a learning curve.

Thanks, I feel more like an anthropologist than a contributor at the moment but I'm sure that'll change over time.

Yep, you will catch on, just keep putting out your content.
