I think that's a different and separate problem from what i'm discussing in this post though,
Your solution will amplify someone elses problem maybe mitigating yours (I'm not even sure it will mitigate that).
and I still think that changing the curation % could have a net positive effect on the problem you're presenting as well.
Well then lets agree to disagree.
Do you know the 200+ votes @ 100% for a total payout of 20 cents ?
I think you don't see what i am speaking about because you are spared from the lack of "curating capital" that most emerging countries/communities/languages experience in the platform.
You want to stop some whale gaming the system by making impossible for minnows to achieve a decent payout...
I insist, policy making is about the compromise between the greater good and the lesser evil.
I just hope more people had the ability to look beyond their local realities and consider other people needs and problems.
Also hope i don't end up having to leave because proposals like this one destroy the efforts i make to keep our shitty slums communities.
A policy maker needs to evaluate the realities of the whole, not just a part of steem.
Yes - I think it's clear we disagree on the potential impact of such a change. You very well may end up being right, I really don't know, but i'm glad you are posting your views here. It's created a great discussion!
If this change actually would end up destroying efforts to help emerging communities then it would definitely not be worth it and I would be very much against it.
Sometimes it's very difficult to predict the effects a change like this can have downstream.
No it is not, but to do so one needs to have and consider all the data, not just a part.
Steem problem is that 93% is on the hands of 0.1% and there is an enormous breach in the inflationary rewards pool distribution, too little is dripping above dolphin level, that is the reason we fail into user retention.
I invite you to use google translate on this post (It already paid out so i hope you don't consider abuse i'm linking it here) https://steemit.com/castellano/@nnnarvaez/steem-economia-basica-proyectos-y-ballenas
I keep meaning to make an english version, but can't find the time to do it.
