problem is with putting FOMO on the front page with so many paid votes,
anyone who doesnt know how steem actually works and takes posts by face value would think that this displayed accurate information and public support,
the system was not built this way it was changed last year to facilitate widespread vote selling
decentralization would 100% solve this currently steemit inc make all changes and are single point with most steem holdings
Im not sure decentralization would in any way solve this. Would you care to elaborate a bit more on how you think a decentralized system would solved this? Hard for a decentralized system to be applied to a social media platform.
no its not
minds is doing it by giving site to users
steem is controlled by a company
voting is controlled by steemitinc exploited in early days and rules changed
not decentralized at all
