One week ago, I wrote a post and suggested a solution see link here that might help stop the ongoing whale wars between @berniesanders and those he accused of raping our reward poll with 8+ to 10+ daily posts ( flooding the system with their own posts and making average of 250SBD+ per posts) . Moreover, some steemians , examples, @anomadsoul , @transisto and @papa-pepper ( and many more) sent in their pragmatic suggestions through their post in hope of solving the issues.
The conundrum, however, is: will there ever be a solution to the problem? Will people use the premise of free will in a decentralized (uncensored) ecosystem as a base to continue doing what will be a disadvantage to all members of this common polity? Will there ever be a common sense solution or should steemit inc continue ignoring the issues, hoping that it will solve itself or should they come up with a pragmatic solution in the next HFork 20? Here are some few points:
Note: There are many factors that are negatively affecting steemit viability ( scam/spam posts, last minute mass comments / posts upvotes, bad quality posts , wallet / chat scams , spammy upvot bots etc) however for the purpose of this post, I will focus on reward pool rape issues.
Human Nature: it is argued that bringing back the post limit of 4 will help however not solve the issue because people will always circumvent by opening another accounts and continue self / group upvoting thus creating another big issue. This is a classic case of human nature (not all but majority of us are greedy) which will not allow an individual to agree to a common sense compromise and make peace with his/her community members-thus putting an end to the flagging wars.
Uncensored argument: Some people will rightfully argue that in an uncensored platform, no member has the right to tell others what to do or not do thus no need to suggest posting limits to people posting 8 + to 10+ daily- when steem blockchain provided us with top platforms (steemit, Dlive, Dtube, busy.org, Zappl, Dsound, Utopia, Dimania et al ) that makes it easier to post multiple times daily.
I concur to their above argument however looking at it in a quality perspective, (I do understand that quality is subjective ) is it possible to post 8+ to 10+ quality posts daily? Is it possible to engage through replying all comments on those posts? Is it possible to reward all good comments on those posts? Or is it a situation of just throwing out posts, upvote it with your massive steem power, use your contacts/ fake accounts massive steem power to upvote it, be on all trending pages, get many upvotes from steemit community members and then avoid / ignore other people that supports your posts and then continue the same thing on daily basis?
The simple pragmatic solution (no perfect one here , so pls send in your own suggestions) is that, sometimes we should remove the self-centered greed in us and put ourselves on the conditions of many minnows who earn their daily bread through platforms like this and thus share some love with them by at least taking in the amount of posts we can manage a day which will be beneficial to new and older members (quality posts) , respond to comments, upvote other people great posts/comments and thus put a smile to someones face through compromise and compassion-this in return will add more financial benefits to the individual and community, however will human nature allow it? ( remember that the evil in human nature can disguise in free will or uncensorship and destroy this platform for all due to extreme greed and disregard for others ). It is , however, time for us to bring out our best through compromise, compassion and empathy!!!! I wish you all a blessed weekend.
