I disagree with that, it should be based on contribution. People tend to overestimate their contribution and will thus over-self vote themselves. But the spamming behavior of most people getting an @freedom delegation should be frowned upon.
I think everyone should get more critical and use the downvote about 10% of the time. (this is the ratio of up/down votes on Reddit. (with much less direct financial incentives)
A solution that is being looked at is to have a separate downvoting power of smaller size (1/10) that is independent from upvoting.
Very well said.
What about those that are contributing without success
@ewuoso that’s my thought exactly. Even though I just started my account this week, and people say it takes time, I feel like inked I say I’m 17 or write about a death in my family for a sympathy post I’m not going far. What’s interesting to me is seeing people their first day hit over 100. I still haven’t figured that one out.
