RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change

in #steem7 years ago

It is self defeating to expect people to invest in steem and even powerup to steem power (a min 13 week commitment to the platform) and then criticize writers who choose to use their steem power to promote their writings.

Sort:  

So you're saying it's good for the platform to upvote your own comments that you make on other peoples posts because you invested in Steem?

Sounds to me like you need to read a little bit more into what you've invested in then my friend. Your invest won't be worth very much if everyone upvote every comment they made.

While you may have answered what he meant, I note he didn't say it was cool.

It just isn't realistic to expect it of most folk.

I don't, and you probably don't, and a lot of folks don't either. Our principles aren't the only answers people have gotten to their own quests for meaning, and in this sense, I must agree with @delusionalmadman.

It isn't realistic to expect it. As you point out, in that case, it isn't realistic to expect Steemit to succeed, either. The fact that you're both right is kinda depressing LOL

I'm glad I ran across your comments here. Followed =)
Thanks!

Here you can be just like this guy in the future. Upvoting your own comments because you invested so it's cool right?

I don't remember ever upvoting my own comments.
