rewarded posts should add value to the token

I think that is where the problem lays. Value to one person is entirely different to another person. The old beauty problem, it is in the eyes of the beholder, or this case token giver. The people that vote through a curation trail really have no clue in many case what is being voted on.

Look at this post of yours, how many people found it of value, how many despite payout refusal voted (266). yes some are bote vote trails trying to pick up a penny on curation, point is it added value to the toke in the eyes of many people.

What type of content "adds" value to the token? How do we decide as a people if it added value to the token? If I were to remove all the vote trail votes from my content then total payout on anything that I have posted would be about $0.050 at most, that is how few real I came, I looked, I read, I valued your post votes I would get, and maybe 1 comment.

Is the only content that adds value to the token that content which an advertiser would find appealing?
