          RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal

          It would work like a 0% upvote. He'd upvote but it wouldn't change the value. If he'd upvote with 90$, the one with 90$ would receive a part of his back. But, as another user…

            Exactly, since value is subjective, people should be able to assign a max value to something =) (At least regarding what they spent on it)

              RE: Steem - Reward distribution Proposal

              Sorry, If it seems this way. Value should be somewhere between Originality - Effort - Quality. But the value someone gains should be closer to the metrics than to what we have now.

                The problem is that people would just distribute their steem to different accounts and upvote them with these.

                  Thanks! I’d upvote this, but I’m recharging my voting power (I get why this is a thing in the steem economy, but lord that sounds absurd to me, still). In lieu of a few cents…

                      @steemcleaners & @spaminator don't flag for self-voting by itself. The post or account has to have some other type of abuse or voting collusion. I'd much rather allow…

                      I wouldn't feel bad about self voting. I do it myself and I always make a distinction between self voting and "abusive" self voting. I'd even make an argument for someone self…

                        A code solution doesn’t do anything but create a minor impediment. Users intent on abusive self voting will just create secondary accounts. So it’s best to leave the option for…

                              I'm glad you've got the reference now! And you're correct—it isn't about "governing" via some kind of homeostatic network like under Allende w/ proyecto cybersyn. I was logging…

                                Have you read Eden Medina’s book on cybernetic market socialism under Allende? This is some strange, neoliberal version of that 🤔? The title is Cybernetic Revolutionaries (pub MIT, I think).
