Sorry, it wasn't my intention to be selective, I just was a bit superficial.
It's very good that you pointed out that 75$ post, because as we can see the main contributor for this post was @steemit200, obviously it's one of SteemIt inc accounts.
So it looks like SteemIt inc egree that posts of @masteryoda are positive contribution, just suggests that this contribution should be measured by 75$ rather then by 200$.
From my minnow point of view it's only good when whales annihilate each other votes, because all that only encrease my own vote weight.
However I also take in consideration, that at this early stage of development the whole reward pool is rather just money subsidized by Steemit inc
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
@clayop is correct that is not a Steemit Inc. account (I think those were steemit1-50, but I could be wrong; the specific numbers are in the original bitcointalk thread).
However, in this case you are also characterizing the rewards incorrectly. steemit200's account is much smaller than mine and as such would not by itself generate anything close to $75 in rewards. My guess is more like $4. Although @steemit200 is the largest single vote, there are many other votes on that post that are close in size, including @au1nethyb1, @rosco99 (both witnesses), @recusive, @satoshifund and others. It is not correct to attribute the resulting reward, nor any specific portion thereof, to any one particular voter, in either this case or others.
@steemit200 is not Steemit Inc.'s account IIRC
Steemit200 is a bot account that occassionally frontruns a lot of the whales (along with badassmother wang and the recursive's sometimes). AFAICT, its not related to accounts like steemit1, steemit2, and steemit3, that are steemit inc's accounts.
If it voted for this poster, it most likely did so trying to frontrun smooth, but got bolloxed when smooth didn't show up to the party.
