RE: New on SteemBlockExplorer.com: View all votes on a post with their value and curation reward

in #steemdev7 years ago

This tool looks really useful, thanks for making it.
So I'm pretty new to Steemit, but I'm concerned about self upvoting. Its controversial considering that it allows bigger players aka orcas and whales to take the lion's share of curation on their own posts. Is that fair?

A lot of people are watching @haejin for example and wondering if one user should be allowed to take such large returns daily considering there's a limited amount of Steem awarded daily (??) or in existence I guess. What if we did away with self upvoting completely, that way whales would award their followers for curating them .. the incentive to upvote bigger fish would still exist but more profit ie crumbs would trickle down to the minnows and other low life creatures :)
