RE: Q03 — What Do You Think About The SNAX Reward Algorithm?
I thought Snax was to implemented here on 14-May... or perhaps I mis-read? 🤔
You said:
better “influence” position at centralized media (which can easily be faked) brings more reward
The most prominent example is the "Trending" page, which is usually laden with posts that have been showered with attention from bid-bots. I've seen a simple meme there earn $60 or more, and a photo with one short paragraph earn $300. If a quality post appears in Trending, you can bet it was written by some very well-known Steemian (a top-20 Witness or a developer) and it was hit by all the other top-20 witnesses and developers. That is how one gets into Trending here, whether the post is really "trending" (with everyone talking about it) or not.
Also, the "Reputation" score we have is basically just an indication of the attention given by those with Reps higher than ourselves. I will upvote this post because I think it is good and thoughtful, and it will give you a very few pennies in rewards. However, my upvote won't help your Rep score at all, but if 10 people with a Rep higher than you upvote it, you will see a generous "bump" upwards in your Rep score. So, it can easily be "faked" by rubbing shoulders with the rich-and-famous here.
On May 14 the link between SNAX and Steemit accounts was established, but there is no reward for posting yet.
Yes, @thekittygirl, you are right. But here at least “the influencer” must invest something in return for the influence. And here nobody will trade your data and your privacy.
Thank you for reading my post.
Yes, good point: investment of time or money is required here, thankfully!
