RE: Case Study: Splintertalk Curation and My 10% Downvote Rubric
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
On top of what you mentioned it also burns rewards...
Downvotes do not burn anything.
Bring it to the streets and make a case...
There’s no need to make a case for downvoting. It’s one of two types of votes that can be cast in this system. Both serve the same purpose: to reach consensus on reward allocation based on the subjective value preferences of voters.
One person may upvote, another may downvote. Both are equally valid decisions on any given post. There’s no need for philosophizing and moralizing. You can vote up or down on any content you see, for whatever reason you want.
You know YouTube and Facebook have mechanisms like that.
This isn’t YouTube or Facebook. It’s Steem. There are rewards being distributed by stakeholders from an inflation pool. There are rules for how that works. You should learn and understand the rules if you want to willingly participate in the system. And you should especially learn and understand them before making arguments that explicitly contradict the code and the rationale for the code.
As to the rest of your comment - I have no idea what you’re carrying on about.
So Downvotes don't burn pending rewards? Which had to be created by wasting mana of a stakeholder?
As I see it, downvotes do that - and also have a negative impact on the reputation level.
.. and I never said that
Anyone can do that, but not everyone has enough power to use downvotes efficiently.
With a reputation of (74) and 50k Steem/SP combined, you don't care to get a little downvote here and there. Who cares about small fish in the seas, right? HAHA right?
