RE: Promoting The Upvote Culture
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Jon, nice post. Perfectly fine to describe your view and act towards it. However, it doesn’t make it right. Please let me explain.
You have 28K SP at the moment and your current post is currently enjoying a $9.40 reward; which you graciously donated 15% to steempress and rest goes to your wallet. All nice and good.
Now all day today, yesterday and days before that I downvoted a Korean cartel with a kingpin with 1.3 M SP, earning $40 a post, (2 post a day before, now only one lately due to constant downvotes). With $40 a post, 7 post a week is $280 just to this one person. My single 100% DV is about $3, I probably spent 10 of them on him so far and his immediate family. That $30 I redistributed to this reward pool so that YOU can get $9.40, if I haven’t done that you would probably get $9.39; yes Jon that’s today.... or at payout, not in million years in future when Dinosaurs will rule the earth :)
Plus it’s not only just me, there were 4 other individuals consistently downvoted this particular individual so that his shit-post gets zero reward. So now without that your current beautiful post will be $9.20 perhaps, yeah today, or at payout. Still with me, or the math too hard for ya?
Upvote and downvote are equal and opposite actions. You mentioned if I don’t like a content I should move on. You also said “opinion downvote” is unacceptable; but there is nothing wrong with opinion upvote. Excellent, Jon!
Enjoy your $9.40 reward without some of us, it could have been $9.20.... $9.0.... $8???
What have you done for me specifically lately Jon?
Sorry that’s a rhetorical question. Have a great day, man! I am glad you are here ;)
Not really....50/50 split if I recall after hardfork 21....I get....maybe 4 bucks worth of Steem and SP when all is said and done. Which I'm fine with, cause I like seeing the rewards going to the curators too. That's what makes Steem so awesome.
No, the math adds up fine.
However I would say, abusers will be there no matter what and instead of you being responsible for tackling this issue alone and using your SP for it, why not have a better system that gets rid of all their rewards from the abusers.....
If X amount of Steemians vote a post down because of abuse, the rewards are removed....Again I'm not that smart, I just use this stuff and try to get others to as well.
Glad you asked....Since I've been here...I've built https://www.SteemSavvy.com to help onboard new people to Steem.
I also created @ClickTrackProfit and bring hundreds of people to Steem to help them get their feet wet with the platform. Getting everyday online businesses to use and accept Steem and train them on it as well.
We also built Fire-Pay that can integrate Steem-Engine tokens into any business online so that merchants can accept any token they wish. Beta tested it with CTP Token all weekend and it worked great, bringing it to more online merchants this year.
Oh and I talk about Steem every day to my 10k plus Twitter followers.
So not much specifically...But I'm still here building my businesses on the blockchain and encouraging others to. I hope it helps your Steem investment :)
SP=steem Jon. You have been around for a while. I know that you know 50/50 split. It is $9.40 rewards.
Easy to ask,eh? 1. It is called decentralized governance. 2. Steem Inc have 6 people in their staff.... what do you expect? FEMA after Katrina? :)
LOL Shows how much I don't know. Appreciate the correction. Still learning, still screwing up.
LOL Nah not expecting FEMA after Katrina...
BUT...this is where I think you guys (the whales with the big SP) shouldn't have to be the ones using all your VP to protect Steem from abuse. I do think there has to be a better way...
Some way where if the majority votes a post down, the rewards are removed....I dunno. That way, it doesn't fall on you and others to use your VP to combat it.
Another thing to learn Jon. After the latest HF, the blockchain gave all of us 10 free downvote so that abuse fighting do not drain VP. However only 7% of the people is using it unfortunately. So the fight is hard, and almost certainly a loosing battle. Cheers!
