RE: Brainstorming Subscription Sinks for SCOT Tokens & Tribes
I think it probably helped that we had nearly 2 years of community building and delegation built up before we made this switch. We started with a higher base delegation than most might be able to.
I do think this would be a more consistent sink because of the set frequency and size of the fees to be burned, but clay has a point about getting it rolling.
Having an existing community/delegation definitely would help getting off the ground.
I agree on the consistency and I think I’ve landed on the conclusion to start with a bot model similar to minnowsupport (which, fortunately enough, Aggroed released a post just recently that Steem Engine now offers such a service) and add the subscription sink in later. Probably running simultaneous to the voting bot but on a different account. Then you get 2 sinks. The model could run similar to SBI and could also focus more heavily on attention/marketing rather than purely upvoting.
Thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it :)

The only thing I would consider is limiting the number of auto-votes the account does for the subscription. With any of our auto-vote, we had a lot of spam prevention built-in.
It would serve to make it 1-3 posts/day or maybe even something like 5/week. Inspiring people to try and trigger those votes on their higher quality posts first if possible. Quality over quantity seems to get the better manual curation I think.
That’s a good point. I was thinking 1x a day, but I kind of like that idea of 5x a week to inspire better content. The subscription would also have some stricter rules on content production - probably some general guidelines on length, quality, etc.. If those are violated then the subscription would get terminated and the user would be a new member to the blacklist.

As the originator of our Blacklist, I remember when we as a team decided to add quality requirements to our control of the old free upvote system.
Just be sure to have some fairly clear rules, and still leave room for a 'at our discretion' too. With them paying, you can probably be a bit more loose than we were for the free upvote too.
Ah so you’re well versed in all of this. Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely let you know if/when I implement all of this!
