RE: What's Important to Steemit’s Longevity? - Inspiried by @anyx ‘Tragedy of The Commons’

The system is not organically working. It's contrived how people are voting. They are aware ahead of time how the math works so they vote based on the math and not on how they feel.

While it goes against my principles of how this should site should operate, it almost feels like it would work better if people didn't know how to game the system from the start.

Doesn't it seem very silly that a person has to wait for a period of time before they will vote for something? If you see something you like that is worth rewarding, ideally you should just vote and get on about your business, but instead people will wait 15 minutes or whatever to upvote. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I know your average Facebook user that comes here in the future will think all of the bots and gaming the system is rubbish.

I love the idea of the site, but we got work to do, ladies and gentlemen.
