I think he could post as much as he wants when he would be willing to decline payouts after post 3 or 4. A post limit would make the second or third account then way more attractive.
On the other hand the whales are free to do with their stake as they see it fitting meaning upvoting him all the time or downvoting all the time.
@aggroed made a good point that in a way it is also good for steemit as you need role models so people loose their shit how much they can make here.
That is nice idea!
If the post #1 received much reward then the second post close to the first by timeframe has reduced reward.
I totally agree, people can do whatever they want with there stake... Limiting posts will kill a few birds with one stone. It will cut down people spamming the shit out of steemit with like 10-30 posts a day. lol This won't solve the problem but it can help. Who knows :)
I saw one guy just replying to comment after comment by himself, giving each comment a $25 upvote. The thread was about 100 comments deep when I last checked. So I don't know if limiting posts is going to help a great deal.
Not to mention, if we want people using apps like Steepshot the same way they'd use Instagram, then you want them to have the freedom to post 1000 selfies a day (for better or worse lol)
Right, when you visit Steemit without logging in, you see these top posts that generate a lot of income first. In that way, having those posts with high rewards helps promote the platform. Of course, it's easy to argue that there doesn't need to be 10 of them from the same person.
It's also easy to argue that it gives a false impression of how things might work for anyone else. It's the old Amway problem (the pioneers of Multi Level Marketing): you hear about the nice incomes you can make, but only 1 out of 1000 get to that point, while the other 999's efforts to get there is what puts the 1 to the top. In steemit, the minnows are making the whales rich just as much as anything the whales are doing.
