Cui Bono?..who benefits ?
1/ Those who's accounts have a wealth transfer upwards via curation.
These tokens are 'awarded' for zero effort, just piggy backing off producers to increase their own wealth without any effort - the parasitical mindset.
This mindset is the norm when involved in the manipulation of financial instruments, not the exception.
(According to bitcoin.com, DPoS needs inputs (posts and comments) or the chain will, quite literally - stop working).
2/ It also prevents smaller accounts monetizing blurt tokens (because they've voluntarily burnt a big proportion of their own earnings for the the benefit of the big accounts...
If this initiative succeeds long term ( I highly doubt there IS a long term in regards to any DPoS platform), then the beneficiaries will be the large account holders who've persuaded the smaller account holders to destroy their own money for a higher upvote - by a bot. (i.e not content relevant, its all about laying data down for...who?)
If this is NOT about blurt succeeding long term (my opinion, is this and is not critical of ctime, et.al ) .... it's simply a financial algorithm/tool to profit from, while keeping up the pretense of it being a social media platform ( it isn't).
The less blurt can be used to exchange, the more chance of prices not dropping, the more opportunity for trading at extra profit....Which, if seen as a financial tool only - is a very clever move by 'them'...
I'm currently writing a series of posts concerning all aspects of this - the financial, the psychological, the philosophical. (and some other fun stuff)...
(Approx 3000 words already written - dunno how may more to come ..lol).
Take care, all this could bore your pants off and leave you naked and defenseless
