RE: What if We Could Put a Post to the Top of Trending WITHOUT Buying Votes? Here's How I Think We Could Do it!

in #community8 years ago

Yes! I think this is a great initiative. Your endless fountain of inspiration and astute observation is quite refreshing, and championing the cause of the plankton and minnows is a great strategy as I believe the best way of fixing the big things is by starting with the little things.

'Power To The Plankton' comes to mind as an idea for a heading, and highlighting posts that didn't get any significant votes/rewards before expiry my idea for part of the content. I believe this strategy serves as a better motivation for active participants for the following reasons:

  • participants won't join solely for the purpose of getting votes on their current posts, but because they believe in the concept of the initiative

  • it will motivate participants to create a new post, with the best content they can muster

  • the people that subsequently follow and upvote the participants new posts will be doing so for altruistic reasons as opposed to a quick buck, therefore building a meaningful following

Another idea: I know that my vote is worth 1c, as with a lot of plankton, so you would need approx. 500 plankton to vote in order to reach $50. You could create a daily meme linking to the target post, letting everyone know how close to target the post is. Something like this (but better)

Hey, we're doing a meme challenge today, so, you're right on target. I'll share more in a bit, but your math is a bit fuzzy. You'd need 5000 1 cent votes to hit $50.00 not 500. Hopefully, with a bunch of minnows, we can shortcut this and get a bunch of ten centers thrown in for good measure. I've got about 30 cents in votes combined.
