Did you notice that I'm downvoting vote buyers posts only?
There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of accounts with higher stake than mine. Any of them can destroy my account with a couple of clicks. Why they didn't do it yet? Maybe they see what I see. Next exit scam would be destructive for this blockchain.
We are missing something here. Guys who are pulling out from community hundreds of thousands STEEM should not run their businesses basing just on a PROMISE
Now that we are actually talking...
Could you see SBI working if they were to amend how the bot works somehow?
I understand that you are against people sponsoring other people on SBI, but that payment I think can also work as a statement of trust. It's not strictly a purchase, but an investment in that person. After all, if they do not post anything for 150 (?) days, his sponsorship will be dropped and distributed amongst the rest of the pool and they don't get anything for it. (That's how SBI works currently at least.)
There is also a black list and the people that are being sponsored are also being vetted against that list. Bots and scammers will not be admitted to the SBI pool. I think that is only a good thing.
I am thinking that as long as someone is handling the bot, we ultimately need to trust that person. But that's exactly how it works in any setting of life. If you can't trust someone, you just don't give your money to them, and if you do trust them and they run away with your money they will. We can never be quite certain which case it is.
But at least the service has been running for what 2 years (?) now, without anyone running away with the money.
Now the interesting part would be if we could employ smart contracts to run the SBI service for us. We could be absolutely certain that the rules are being followed by both the people providing the service (as there are none), and those who use it (sponsors and sponsees).
The way I see SBI affecting the Steem ecosystem is by flattening the rewards in a way that there are less and less those who make crazy huge sums of money, and less of those who make nothing. Everyone could make something, not too much, and not too little.
Yes I guess you would claim basic income would lead to people not creating any quality content, but I am contesting that point as I know it can also incentivize people to actually create content.
Your turn.
Right now SBI doesn't follow any #newsteem "unwritten rules" but it's not the end of the world. Learn about Communities and SMT, I'm sure you can move there SBI and you will be stronger than ever. Good Luck!
(I didn't notice this reply of yours, until now.)
I didn't really get what you said about SMTs. What I did hear is you were attacking the communities as well.
You didn't address the part where I mentioned the reward pool being more evenly distributed because SBI though. I believe this to be a good thing, and not as you say "raping the reward pool". It makes Steem more inviting to newcomers, because there won't be so many people getting huge rewards for mundane posts, and it also makes sure people won't get 0 rewards from quality posts.
Isn't that (more even distribution of rewards) exactly what we need?
I think you may be afraid that the Steem isn't going to be a lottery anymore if the SBI takes hold and the reward pool gets more evenly distributed to all.
Yes, you are right that we should not trust anyone running a bot, but thenagain should I trust You that you don't continue your crusades after this one is done? Would you not hold the community as a hostage if you deem some other thing that bothers you immoral?
How can I believe you are not just milking your downvote spree for your own ends?
After all, you yourself are one of the people you claim to be fighting against. I have no reason to believe in your promise that you will not start this charade again when convenient.
And I heard you about the targeting.
What's your viewpoint on Steem Basic Income?
@mmmmkkkk311, Lier. Look through all of the feeds and you will find multiple people who never bought into the program but were sponcered in and you still downvote them. LIER.
Maybe if you provided proof they would be here with you on your side but, as of yet, I little almost no one backing your crazy actions. You ignore conversations and run.
You're coming from a fear-based mindset. You're literally hurting yourself by hurting the content creators, like me, who produce their best work just about every time they come to this platform.
