RE: Why whales are needed - and a proposal to insure the massive success of steemit, ie Subtractive Upvoting Gradient

in #upvoting9 years ago

keep in mind that during the initial stages of the universe, it wasnt a very nice place to be, all that cosmic radiation. If you constrain a system to have to be perfect for its entire duration, then it needs to magically appear as a perfect solution. Seems a bit unlikely though quantum mechanics says that anything is possible.

However, I prefer a system that is good enough to being with that is incrementally improved. We have what we have and since my timemachine is broken, cant change the past. So from here, making the incremental improvements is the key.

It would be good if each whale picked some speciality they liked so can act as a magnet for that sort of content. There are a few hundred whales, depending on where the cutoff is, so that is room for quite a lot of different categories

Sort:  

The steem idea was about decentralization , and what we see here is cartel formation.

no
the reason is that each whale on his/her own creates a magnetic attractor
