So, by your own definition, you deem that almost nothing on here adds value as you vote for your burnpost every single day and rarely anything else?
My personal view is that there is not much being posted which adds enough value to justify its cost in inflation. Burnpost is basically neutral, at least as long as there is no SBD premium (value added = inflation reduced). There are certainly exceptions and I do vote for those. I especially see value in small rewards for comment engagement, which I vote constantly. I see less value in people earning a regular paycheck without demonstrated performance in growing the platform (and since the platform on the whole is not growing, it means no one is performing).
Not everyone has to agree with my view. It seems a fair number do though.
Which you collect curation rewards for btw and is akin to self voting 10x per day, you just happen to burn the other half
That's not how curation rewards work. Curation rewards on burnpost are terrible (as they should be) due to early votes, not even close to half. I could easily earn more voting elsewhere. But if you think burnpost is a bad use of reward funds, then please downvote it (which would reduce even further curation rewards for people who upvote it). Voting consensus is all about measuring agreement and disagreement and directing rewards accordingly,.
lets code in the fact that if someone votes for you, you may not vote for them within a 3 day period or 7 day or whatever
That is easily circumvented using multiple accounts.
Also, the nature of a voting system is to allow the behavior of the reward flow to evolve over time (sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly) based on stakeholder subjective view on what is important. Coding in things means being beholden to a hard fork schedule and introducing more risks of bugs and crashes, which we've already seen. We don't need more of that.
