RE: JAHM Whitelist Update & Quality Tips for Curation
These are really good ideas.
6. Engage Others
Very important.
People need to remember it's not about quantity, it's about quality. Few people who have to post 1X or 2X a day are consistently posting topnotch stuff.
The hope is that more people comment, I upvote almost all meaningful comments on my blog. There are posters here who have never set foot in Jamaica and post about places and experiences in Jamaica. It would be better if they stuck to the comments or wrote about things that don't require a first-hand experience in a specific location.
Even mediocre posts take a couple of hours. Longer if you are using your own photos and making original content.
I would rather have posts about people's real experiences or ideas, even if they are a little rough around the edges. I find the perfectly executed internet-researched posts a little boring. I really enjoy @babarakas43 posts about cooking - the saltfish fritters and roast breadfruit especially. I'd love to hear more about @mariluna's life in Venezuela: I guess Venezuela is part of the Caribbean?
Absolutely, this is a blogging platform so many prefer reading about experiences. Some write essays and offer opinions but they better be unique.
Venezuela is in the Caribbean but so is some of Britain, France, the USA, etc. It's more of a cultural thing than that of geography.
Great, so that brings me to the next thing I've been thinking about ... what is the purpose of the blogging platform in relation to the other aspirations of reggaesteem to build the Jamaican tourism and music economies?
The blogging is a way for people to earn rewards while sharing their stories about travel and love of Jamaican culture. I won't be upvoting anyone selling Jahm or strictly going for a high ROI, this isn't supposed to be a way to earn a living IMHO. Ideally JAHM should be for Jamaican culture and Reggae fans.
I guess the ideal would be wide distribution of the jahm token into the hands of people who are going to spend it in Jamaica or on goods and services originating from Jamaica.
