I have a saying, its better to ask question, then play mister wiseguy...
And please forgive my ignorance, if those questions been asked before.
So i could search for the answers, with the chance that not everyone is asking the same questions,
Or i open a posts about it, and guess what i did?
So my first question series, is about reputation:
What is the reputation for?
How do you gain reputation?
Can anyone also be demoted? ( just to know where our line is )
About Votes, what to me is still a weird phenomenon, what almost look like it got a life on his own.
Is there a way, that anyone can influence the amount of the reward what they get of voting?
What if an organization or a group of 1000 people join steem, and who vote on each other, would they have some influence on the payouts?
Not that i have something like that in my mind, but what if organized groups are joining, who will spam making posts and got the amount of members to vote on each other.
Would that be something that would lower the value or rise even more?
Ok now as last, about the earning and payouts.
Is there a way, that anyone, can create some kind of influence on the amount of the reward of his voting?
Look dont get me wrong, i am just thinking about 3 or 4 steps a head.
And i know that sooner or later, will Steemit go viral.
What would lead to many money makers wants to join Steem, and yes there are already money makers here, but i don't mean them.
So i dont talk about them, because there is nothing wrong with making money.
And those organized groups are also out there, and maybe on this moment , they did not discover Steemit yet.
But i think sooner or later they will discover it, and if they join with 100 or 1000 people, who will spam useless posts to get votes from his mates.
Would the value of Steemit go down or go up if someone like this happened?
Thanks for reading and cheers!
