RE: Should The Global Content Reward Pool Be Done Away With?

"This is crypto."
So if HIVE price rises you will all say HIVE is so great, and the EIP does the job, but if it keeps falling that's because of speculation. :)
Absolutely not. That's what you seem to be doing.
"Of course, it is because there is a certain amount of social pressure and risk of getting flagged against self-voting."
The pressure didn't change with the change of the curaation reward percentage.
Look, that pressure is a force against vote farming including self-voting, and the potential rewards are a force for vote farming. By weakening the latter, you shift the balance. I won't repeat this again as I'm hoping that I have finally managed to make the point successfully.
"None of those factors alone did it. Many small-time vote farmers saw their gains cut substantially by the non-linear convergent curve."
As you may have noticed, I am in favour of that curve.
Yes. Just saying that the three factors together did it.
This is starting to go in circles somewhat. :)
I would like to thank you for taking trouble of engaging in this exchange!
Where did I do that? I am observing the STEEM/HIVE price since years, for example compared to the price of BTC, that's completely different than considering short term speculations for my evaluations.
As I explained, 50 % curation rewards don't reduce the rewards for self-voting (it leads to less author but more curation rewards for the self-voter), and also not of vote farming with own alt accounts. It also doesn't changes the amount of social pressure on self-voters.
But of course you are free to disagree and keep your different opinion.
Yes, right, we simply don't agree in some points.
I may write a post about my ideas concerning curation, so that more people are involved and can think about them.
Thanks for the tough discussion. :)
