RE: Why Down Votes and Flags are an Unavoidable consequence of Game Theory

in #steem8 years ago

Sure. Especially since you requested it. I want to think about it a bit before I post, but I definitely will. It was a lot of good food for thought. I will say now it has potentially addressed most of my concerns. If we didn't have cases where some very powerful couldn't smash down those for subjective/opinion reasons to the degree we have it now I think it would be less of an issue. So perhaps if as this article seems to indicate we really need a down vote as the opposing force dictated by game theory that the real issue is not the down vote, but how it can manifest with the disparity of power. I am also not in favor of equalizing power, people get their steem power by purchase and/or activity and I believe this is a beautiful thing. So I do not want to neuter those with power. I would like to find out some way to perhaps reduce the impact such a down vote can have on people. I do care, otherwise I'd not be so passionate about something that hasn't even happened to me personally. I can tell you care about it as well. I will write a response. Perhaps later today, if not within the next day or so. I want to mentally digest what is in that other article first. :)
