RE: A Case for Stake-weighted Voting?

in #steem7 years ago

We are in newish territory with Polls - they have become a recent trend.

Hopefully today's work has helped the lead dev, for dpoll.curator, and he's just posted an update:

The trouble with this type of voting is that it quickly moves away from merit based and into popularity based. People quickly lose sight of the mission and focus only on winning. I think that if the results of the poll were not 'real-time' some of that problem would be reduced...but human nature is to try to win.

Regardless, the contest has sparked engagement like I've never seen before, so that's a win by itself. :-)
