RE: STOP VOTING FOR HIVE OLIGARCHY - START VOTING FOR FREE-SPEECH

in Deep Dives4 years ago

Ok, no secrets there.
You've been here long enough to see that the newbs are starting to gain ground on the old guard.
That will only increase, plenty of folks mad at hw.

Sort:  

guiltyparties claims hivewatchers has nothing to do with steemcleaners, and then just two days ago, they delegate 12,102 to steemcleaners

Ah, there is some data I missed.
I don't know what to do about all that, just yet.
The long game is that all those people will slowly lose power due to dilution by the inflation.
We need to build the new to make the old obsolete, and that is happening.
At one time we would have gotten wiped from the pool just for having this conversation on the chain.
Now, we just need to get folks to stop voting the big accounts.

With linear rewards there is no advantage to voting posts with large payouts.
You get the same curation rewards on a .1htu post as you do a 500htu post.
Anybody with any sense of what is happening knows it is in their best interest to spread the coin to those without any, rather than those with the most, but web 2.0 still feeds into the popular.
That will change with time.

Anybody dumping their hive over emotional reactions is gonna regret it in 5 years, or less.
In the second year I was here I recognized the problems presented by the ninjamine blowing out the math.
Most of the beneficiaries of that largess are gone, though not all.
Just a matter of time and the field will level itself, if we stop voting rewards to the largest accounts.

There it is.

Yes, and now things are different.
Not ideal, but not as bad as it could be.
