There are actually more options than that. It just makes for the drama.
I don't agree with their experiment in any case.
I do understand the aim of the test, but for the extreme,
ham-fisted implementation, and lack of ability to opt out,
which would blow the experiment anyway.
I think they wanted to see what would happen to the reward distribution.
It could be that this is a known thing already, and was perfectly predictable.
The whole reward pool still goes out. Steemit, as a whole,
is still receiving the same amount of rewards,
except for the almost consistent downward trend in steem value.
It's just, less powerful voters now have the ability to apply it with their vote.
The same amount of payout is directed according to the votes
of dolphins and minnows.
I'd like to see the vote power distribution curve.
My guess is that it flattens out or stays the same shape with lower upper limit
...
Hey, which one do you think is Abit, and which one is Smooth?
Anyway, it was implemented in a way that very visibly,
showed the big losses of some people. This way, in theory,
smaller rewards get spread around to more people.
What will be interesting to see is where those rewards were diverted.
I wonder if we'll get to know? These guys don't post very much, so I doubt it,
but if the theory works, your vote is worth more during the experiment
than ever before, unless you are an upvote whale,
and it is truer, during the experiment that the more votes a post gets,
the more it is rewarded in aggregate.
In short, when whale voices are squelched,
the rest of our voices become more audible and a little bit louder individually,
but the same intensity, in decibels overall.
They just pissed off too many people who are very good at being persuasive,
which is what makes them good bloggers.
It could be that I have misunderstood this entirely,
and this is going to be a big, giant, embarrassing booger,
imprinted on the blockchain forever.

If the data can take into account those that did not want to take part in the experiment and quit posting it might be somewhat accurate. It just seems more like a whim without any real scientific method.

They should have targeted the guys with the most payouts instead they targeted all the little guys. This experiment has no hands or feet it is willy nilly down voting by smooth and abit based on how they felt. An experiment has to be unbiased and have people's permission. This is just bullshit as berniesanders said...

I'm looking for a way to fix this so I don't have to go somewhere else and start over again. The current state of affairs would have been thrown out after 2 hours of game test at a decent game company. If we could get Martin Van Creveld, and resurrect John Nash, we might get somewhere. Heck, the heyday of World of Warcraft lasted longer than it appears Steemit is set to.. It looks though, that the rhesus monkeys at the controls are going to run us into the rocks.

Your portraying a bleak future for steemit !? I like to stay positive and i think if everyone keeps enthusiastic and positive attitudes to attract more people then it has a much better chance !! 👍

Problem solving is not really negative. If it wasn't a positive we would be living in mud huts or caves. I'll trade positive feelings away for positive results, any day. Identifying a situation as suboptimal is the first step to a more positive outcome. Facing a problem is the first step to overcoming difficulty. What is it the AA people say? "admitting there is a problem is the first step." Bleak is a long way away. I've been to bleak, we can't even see bleak from where we are.
