People, Literally Get Paid, To Hit a "Like" Button Around Here
This sentence was brought to life by @nonameslefttouse in this post. He knows he’s ways around words. For someone with English as a second language I find his writing amazing.
The post was about marketing. It is an amazing read.
The sentence above stuck in my head!
I mean it is a bit sarcastic, but it is very powerful. It’s absolutely true. And fun! It can be a great marketing slogan for this place. Probably the best one!
Just how easy can this message be presented to the public.
Get paid for hitting the like button!
Furthermore, with the 50/50 split curation/authors this is becoming even more evident. There will be a shift in curation that is for sure. I can tell from me. I’m curating way more than before on the tribes and getting paid to hit the like button.
The one thing that is bothering me at the moment is the maximum 2% voting power per vote and 20% recharge per day. This means you must hit the like button at least 10 times per day, with the maximum power. Otherwise you lose. People don’t want to lose and if they feel that are not to the challenge of hitting a like button 10 times per day, they will give it to someone else. On the other hand, the pro for 10 times per day is that they are engaged with the platform. So, a balance is needed. What if this was 10% per vote? Or even more, to be able to drain all the voting power in one vote? This is something that dtube is doing.
I’m guessing if there is a possibility to dump all the voting power in one vote, this would make it a lot easier for self-voting and similar. A balance is needed, but 2% per vote is probably too much. Around 5% to 10% maybe? This will made people more relaxed and will allow them to give a larger support for the best content. It will even further shift the balance on the curation side.
If you think about it, this is the current situation on the mainstream social media. On platforms like Youtube the ratio is vastly on the side of curators. Probably 1% are content creators and the rest is curators. Here everyone is a content creator because the economy system was like that and incentivized people to be content creators. This model will clearly not bring the masses. Couse the number of spectators is always much greater than the number of performers. Now, we can tell people that they can get paid to hit the "Like" button and try to bring as many as possible here.
Oh, and recommendation. We need recommendations what to read, everyone is used to it. We are to lazy to search for content. There are recommendation on Netflix. A custom recommendations. If some of the tribes pull this out it will be great.
All the best

Thanks for the shout-out bud. I've been meaning to get back here and show my appreciation. I'm glad some people out there get it. Sorry I couldn't give you more.
Thanks for steeping by!
Your writing is something special, and I'm amazed how you can produce such a quality content in a short period of time..... I'm guessing you are pushing your self a lot .... or not ...cant know for sure :)
This is an awesome slogan and it's one that I (@khaleelkazi) use often when describing Steem to someone I meet. I say it's essentially a social media platform where we can like each other and distribute currency with our likes. Obviously, there is a lot more that goes into it than that, but they generally get the idea and we can work from there.
I have the opposite problem of not having enough upvotes to go around sometimes, but I definitely see the idea of wanting to give a larger than 100% vote for a specific piece of content. 1 workaround is to create comments on their post with beneficiary set to 100% for the author. Perhaps a tool could be created to automate this and a button could be implemented on a front end that allowed the user to do this in a few easy steps.
On the note of a recommended feed, I think it's very important. We're working on something similar for Steemleo where you can view content that has been manually curated (I'd love to see some AI that could read your content habits and recommend related stuff to you... maybe someday).
Thanks for the reply :)....Appreciated!
I get what you mean when saying that you need even more upvotes, since that is the role of the account. With a larger %upvotes, you can always distribute them in smaller pieces with the power of the vote.
Recommendations are huge thing, that is the game of big data at the moment, user habits etc ... but even something basic is better than nothing :).
I think we should try to keep it as simple as possible. While all this jargon and crypto talk is fun for me for the average person they just want to know what to do, how to do it and what are the restrictions and why its not a scam, that's it.
I think that this is a simple message that will resonate with a lot of people hopefully when SPS comes around we can campagin for funds to push it
Thanks ... yes this can be a much easier sell to a much bigger audience than .... get paid for your content :) ....Although that is also the case
Yeah dude. They just need to know which buttons to push and how to push them. They need to be comfortable earning small amounts that add up, which is far more than any other place can offer; instead of thinking it's a get rich quick money grab. Once we get those average consumers on board; the golden ticket.

Dear @dalz
Interesting choice of topic buddy. I'm very curious how will people behaviour change after HF21.
I used to upvote comments with 0.03$ upvote and I noticed that many others liked to reward commentators with small upvote. I don't see it happening in the future.
That's exactly my impression as well.
Yours
Piotr
