Yes, an early adopter of Steemit, that recognizes that there is a lot of good quality content. I know what my content is, but I am not here to really "create" content, I am here to view the content. I am an audience member, a one person nielsen rater, a voter and a commenter on content. I find a lot of content on steemit that is worthwhile. Yes there is a lot of crap, but that just means I click away and find something else.
The greed issue on steemit really does not need to be a drastic overhaul. Fixing the greed issue that Asher has brought up only requires 3 changes, those 3 changes however will never be implemented because they have the potential to end the greed cycle.
- Limit self votes to two 100% up votes a day.
- When downvoting for rewards, be able to select the rewarder (the one big vote giver), and leave the posters Reputation unchanged, but the vote givers Reputation takes a hit. (No more pissed off whales slamming poor minnows, unless it is their vote that gets picked.) If multiple people downvote the same reward the hit to Reputation grows.
- Kill of all vote buying selling bots, manual and curation trails only allowed.
But I won't be holding my breath for any of those changes. At least more and more of these, here's a problem I see, what can we do to get a discussion going about it post.
