It's better known in economics and ecology as "the tragedy of the commons". It's an argument for common-wealth and essentially government regulation. Which I'm fine with, to the right degree, but it's not something that the anarcho-capitalists here would support much I wouldn't think.
Interestingly, we have @berniesanders here at steemit. Not the real one, I assume, but do we assume he is more socialist minded than some of the right-libertarians here? I bring him up, of course, as he is in a running battle with @haejin and his minions ;) regarding "reward pool rape". What's interesting in all this is that @berniesanders most closely represents the anarcho-capitalist ethic in terms of his stake and how wildly unequal it is compared to 99% of the rest of the community. So I find myself a bit confused by how he might possess some socialist ethic regarding equality, yet stands above the 99% by such a huge margin. I think he probably represents a benevolent dictator type of character. But do benevolent dictators always remain benevolent?
He's like a half truth that always leads to a full lie!
Meanwhile he's raping the pool himself at the tune of 0.5%:

Half truths are the most insidious. People have no trouble accepting them as the full truth. It's how cults form, which is funny given all the claims that people following your guidance in TA are cult members...

Yeah, I don't know who's right in this argument between you and him, but there does seem to be a bit of hypocrisy from the Bern.

This is very much sums up my thoughts. Here is a little old article that helped to make me a Dash fanboy and one that made me feel skeptic about steemit in the first place: https://www.dashforcenews.com/bitcoin-disincentivizes-community-harmony/
I've gone on record saying that steemit is BTC 4 years ago.
You seem intelligent. I'm going to follow you.

Do people really see bernie as benevolent? All I ever see him do is bitch and moan about others "raping the reward pool" when it's what he has been doing since day 1.
