RE: An Argument for Long-Term Rational Self-Interest Versus Short-Term Irrational Value Extraction
My vote is only worth about $14 right now, but I am certainly considering using it regularly to bring Haejin's reward down a bit. I personally think that job lands to those who have far more Steem Power than I do as his actions are impacting their investment more than it impacts mine (meaning, they have far more to lose and they can deal with flag wars much easier than I can).
My vote is worth $0.14 but I flag that mofo. If we do not build the type of ecosystem where everyone can have a place, then STEEM will lose momentum and go into decline.
It's all about the community and network, that is the true value of STEEM.
@lukestokes, would ask that you check out @flagawhale if you have a chance. It's a flag incentivization project tailored to address whale abuse.
If we come together using strategy and tactics, we will accomplish a lot more than if we go it alone or wait for whales that care to do it for us.
There may be a lot more people involved than you think. It's all spectrums of SP also, not just whales.
So everyone except freedom can just pass the buck up to some bigger stakeholder who can better afford the downvoting, has less to lose from flag wars, and has more to lose from the system not thriving?
Sounds to me like a recipe for more of the same.
EDIT: I'm not blaming you by the way. I indeed think we will see more of the same until the economic incentives built into the system are changed.
