RE: This is it boys and girls
We really have no evidence of what is good or bad for Steem. There is a direct relationship to price and activity. Which came first the chicken or the egg.
I've seen no evidence on either side, just a lot of opinions... including my own.
If everyone just votes for their own self-enrichment, then Steem's rewarding function is pointless. People are just paying themselves with their own money.
If some people vote for self-enrichment then they are doing so at the expense of anyone who is gullible enough not to.
I happen to think that a major function of Steem being completely pointless or a way to gain personally at the expense of other stakeholders is bad for Steem.
Sure, this isn't entirely objective but it's somewhat close. The logic is solid.
The cases of those voting strictly for their own enrichment are few.
Other than that I agree.
My view is quite different. I see an enormous amount of it still going on every day (as a percentage of the reward pool at least, maybe not relative to raw vote count or post count). The situation is modestly improved since HF21, but not to the point of it being 'few'.
We can certainly respectfully disagree on this perhaps.
First you ridicule the notion of 'good or bad' for steem, then when cornered with the simple logic that supports the notion of something being good or bad for the community you try to recant and claim that the negative that you at first denied is now but marginal. I've heard the same bullshit from you from day one, always incapable or unwilling of grasping the simple logic and undeniable conclusion of "if everyone acted like a self voter" and even though I'm not sure you recognize that you are a serial apologist for abuse of Stake or you truly think that such Abuse is Impossible by some ownership or other such 'principle' yet I imagine it ought to be very confusing to make ends meet regardless of the narrative you hold since either there is such evidence or there isn't, no matter the quantity.

We can have a good idea of what is good for Steem and what isn't, some of it is just common sense.
An account only votetrading and maximizing rewards while that's it's only focus which is now a reason 3 years later he gets 0 engagement on his low effort posts to even justify the rewards with that is surely not going to be good for Steem compared to someone with the opposite attributes.
Yeah, in that case I would agree. 3 years of posting and not having any engagement is something I would consider worthy of downvoting.
