>I liked quadratic for encouraging popular content.
I guess it explains the meteoric rise of ozchartart.
His content was very popular.
A more robotic version of haejin with even less conviction.
>Each subsequent vote was worth more.
It makes more sense than how I thought that it worked, and even then I assume it was computed by rshares.
And yet, even this way, it is much worse than linear rewards.
Quadratic rewards make the rich richer, and this is what you strive for.
And it makes the richest richer than the rest of the rich, and makes the poor poorer.
Smooth is adm, he does not fight spam and abuse, and is a waste of Steem.
He knew about abandi and did less in absolute terms (rshares) about it than I did, less than themarkymark did, and less than clvr/smartsteem did.
Adm delegates to steemcleaners, which is another waste of Steem.
For some time I voted for smooth, but as you can see, I have my witness slate clean now.
I also prefer to not vote for preminers.
Dan could still control steemit.
He cared so much that he willingly gave it away.
He was not ousted of it.
He quit it like he did Bitshares and like he will probably do with EOS in less than 3 years from now.
Quadratic rewards was much worse than better, and I made a thread about it.
