Future of 3Speak's Upvoting Habits!
Hello Guys,
First of all, thank you everyone for your never ending support to 3Speak and its mission to promote Freedom of Speech on the internet. We have been talking to various content creators who have faced censorship on conventional social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Many such creators have been deplatformed or demonteized for simply raising their voice on controversial topics. We as a video hosting platform want to support them and bring in more eyeballs to STEEM blockchain.
Today, we would like to discuss about 3Speak's voting habits and its future vision.
@ThreeSpeak's Voting Habits
Currently 3Speak is trying to support many content creators from various categories who create impressive videos on their channels. We are trying to distribute upvotes only on the basis of quality of the content and at the same time maintaining our Voting Power without draining it too much. With the current STEEM price our upvote value has its limits. In order to make full use of our stake, we want to try and experiment with a change in voting habits that could benefit the platform and the whole STEEM community.
Future Vision
In future, users will receive upvotes from the @Threespeak account based on the level of engagement their videos get. We will consider number of views and the no. of comments in order to calculate the amount of engagement on a particular post.
Why This Change
We would like to make curation more competitive, the creator that brings the most traffic to 3Speak gets rewarded the most. We have already brought a good number of influential Youtubers and Social Media personalities on the Platform. This change will:
- Incentivize creators to bring their followers from other platforms to 3Speak.
- Ensure that low engagement posts will get smaller upvotes as compared to others.
- Encourage budding creators to become the best version of themselves and gather a decent following on STEEM & 3Speak.
Apart from the content creators, STEEM needs content consumers too. If there is no audience to appreciate the efforts of a creator, then what's the point. We hope that this change will bring subsequent increase in the number of views on 3Speak's videos and improve the quality of content.
Please let us know your thoughts and feedback in the comment section about the above suggested changes in the voting habits. It would be great to discuss more ideas to bring more traffic on 3Speak and STEEM.

Nice update. Curious to see how this works out since it can be easily gamed, but glad you are attempting to improve voting behavior.
I did downvote this post due to self voting it to trending with Steemit Inc stake, not because I disagree with the post itself. Perhaps in the future sending rewards to null would be beneficial if the reason for doing so is for promotion aspects. Otherwise it seems like the type of voting behavior we are trying to avoid.
Hi @threespeak
The best way to enhance good content is by supporting. There is no discussion about that, but you are right to say that you cannot support everyone without lowering your voting power,
one way is for you to set a maximum of daily votes but manually so that your entire voting power is not compromised.
By recommending two votes every four hours it sounds difficult but you can do it in the following way create an alternate account where you can give resteem only to those you selected,
then to be voted on the same day.
That way you'll know who you vote for on a daily basis when you give the resteem that account is doing.
And your primary account is dedicated to your publications.
Well, that was an idea we applied to the project.

good !
Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion and feedback Lanzjoseg (@project.hope). We will certainly look into this strategy.
@threespeak
I'm glad that you like the idea I apply it since two years ago when I started with a project called @topfivefamily I do not have great voting power but I do a dynamic of three votes is called the TooTres daily for three selected, and then I use my voting power for other users.
That's my alternate account you can see how clearly this works in Spanish.
@topfavifamily
Now if you visit the @project.hope blog we also apply that form of vote control
Greetings
Dear @threespeak
Would you mind if I take few minutes of your time?
Together with few core members of project.hope team - we'te trying to promote our recent publication: an article explaining economy behind our non-profit community project build on STEEM blockchain.
Perhaps I could ask you to spare few minutes and check it out and share your feedback with me.
I would absolutely appreciate it a lot. I read all comments and I drop solid upvote on each valuable one.

This is one of the greatest services on the STEEM blockchain. I just hope there is no way for the TPTB to silence you because that's the main objective.. first censor widely used social sites and then go for the ones that are left (Threespeak)
The world is in a hurry and blockchain much more.
People have never before created and consumed so much content and in this accelerated way. Being present in steemit and building community consuming time: Hours creating content almost daily if you are interested in collecting rewards for blogging, consume daily content from your friends and news steemit, vote and socialize. If you manage projects then reduce sleeping hours because this involves another series of activities. I think people get tired after a while and that is one of the reasons why posts are deserted by comments even other posts are voted on automatically without being seen.
I think that this model should evolve to a more functional system, while this happens, apps can go one step further.
The creators of video content by vocation could take their time to make quality and attractive content, so consumers can really enjoy watching something fun, listen to an interesting opinion, listen to a great song, poetry, watch a fabulous recipe, and a long etc. and both author and consumer are well rewarded for doing this.
In the case of videos, if someone watches the entire video, this should generate a reward for both: author and consumer. Each time the video is viewed within an period of time that should not to be 7 days, maybe a month or more both parties will accumulate points. These points could then be redeemed through a booster in a comment, or in a post.
Under this system, comments from both parties could also be rewarded with redeemable points.
Then we would have less volume of videos but better quality and lots of real views and comments. Authors and consumers happy.
SP will be consumed without a doubt with this point system.
just my thoughts, because I am not a developer or anything like that.
Selectively voting only on your popular (well-paid) content creators will ensure you maximize the return on your curation reward under HF21 rules.
Thanks for information
I have noticed many times a lot of good quality video but the view is very low and very poor quality video but very much because they have more followers.And because they have more followers, they have more comments on their posts.In that case, how will your activities be?
If somebody is getting views and comments then their content has an audience irrespective of the quality which is quite subjective. There are content creators who create amazing videos just from their smartphones and a lot successful. In the long run, followers will continue to view the videos if they are interesting. We want to change our voting habits to support creators who can attract more views and watch time on their channels.
Okay,, But I think it would be a little difficult to get a view for the new comers.Then How can they get support in that case?
we have saved some VP each day for newcommers and people we see as potential growers. We will monotor this process closely, as we do not want to detract from discovering new potential. however using our old process we are also not incentivizing larger creators to share their threespeak content and onboard their communities here. so we have to find the right balance, this is our first step towards that
Quality is subjective, yes, but that's exactly why curators (supposedly) have a brain - to make that subjective decision! Only upvoting already-popular content is exactly the behaviour HF21 (and Steem in general) is trying to avoid. Bots can do that. Bots WERE doing that. It's why #NewSteem happened, to fix this problem you're purposely exacerbating.
Hello @drutter, We will not stop supporting talented and creative folks on their initial days. We allocate separate VP which will continue to reward creators doing amazing job with the videos across multiple categories. Please understand that this is just an experiment to bring a little change in our strategy that could possibly attract outside viewership on 3Speak. We want to attract creators and investors both so that creators do not have to rely on limited VP of threespeak.
Won’t it be that popular people with a fan base will get more upvotes even if the video isn’t worth it?
People who bring in views bring in ad dollars that help sustain threespeak as a business model. At the end of the day we are here to drive the price of Steem upwards. That is not to say unknown creators don’t have a chance to earn Steem on threespeak, it’s just since we have been open we have a lot of creators bringing in a lot of views and we want to make sure they get compensated. The same can be asked, what if a user brings in a ton of views and comments and get rewarded less then someone who only brought in a few views and no comments? We want to make it’s fair as possible, while still keeping a free market approach.
Sounds good. Not a bad idea
Sometimes I get a surprise vote from you guy's and it's appreciated.

One question.... What again is the prerequisite for people to post on 3speak? I know youre all for freedom of speech but theres this girl that does what is basically a dress up commercial on 3speak which you voted up to the top of the trending page.
Nothing against her or the fact shes up there, im just curious as to if all content is now allowed on 3speak. Not just controversial stuff that might get demonetized elsewhere.
All content has always been allowed
Hmm. I did read the questionnaire you had and it seemed that you rejected those that didnt have demonetizable content.
Alright , thx for the info.
it was in the first few months. after that they made it "free" for all (it is not free :D )
Not to mention people playing game videos. I also thought it was about free speech.

Free speech means all speech, gamers included.
Semantics. And dress it as you wish, the philosophy of the platform has changed.
the no. of comments - very important!
