RE: DISCUSSION: Best way to handle Community Curators program requirements (starting 1st of May)
While i understand why the "no cross-post on other chain" exists from a business point of view, i see a little of a problem there...
To me, it feels like they are demanding a exclusivity contract with the authors without any guarantee that this exclusivity will be paid as such.
Sure, there will be a "chance" to be chosen by the curator to be paid for the exclusive content, but there is no guarantees. (PS: i do trust on project hope fairness on selecting the articles to curate. I am just painting a broader picture here)
Although the majority of us aren't professional writers, i don't see this as a good deal.
Exclusivity means a smaller reach, and my opinion is that this downside should come with a better upside than just a "chance" to be selected.
I agree that it is indeed a great support coming from one side, while on the other side no support were found, and i agree that the project should try to compromise with the guidelines to recieve this support.
But on a personal level, i can only agree with posting only on Steem if this was tied to some sort of time frame no bigger than 1-2 days. (Publish first on Steem, then 1 day later free to publish anywhere else).
Otherwise, congratulations to the team on receiving the support.
Dear @phgnomo
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Appreciate it a lot,
Demanding is a strong word. I rather see it as form of encouragement, to prioritize STEEM chain over other platforms/blockchains. And I am here to "guarantee" that this will exclusivity will be rewarded. So perhaps it's not as bad as you see it.
Also look at it from different perspective: that additional 200k SP can serve us to support users, who are focusing their efforts on being active on Steemit (jnstead of HIVE). There is several users within PH community alone, who can benefit without really implementing strong changes into their current ways of doing things.
Others will just continue the way they did. Nothing will change for them.
I'm glad that you put it that way :) I'm working hard to build trust towards what we do and it's very encouraging to hear such a words.
Yours, Piotr
