RE: The Future of Pocket

in #pocket7 years ago

I like the idea of a public discussion on this. While I like the public curation on the steemit platform I think there are some issues. It seems to be improving at distribution of wealth increases; but it seems -who you are- not what you wrote decides the rewards. That is to say we have FISH RACISM -if you are a minnow, it is hard to get a top post, but if you are a whale- a picture of your latte will land on the trending page. That said in judging quality content there are a lot of different factors. My tools currently are upvoting a post, it gets a few cents, flagging a post -reserved for serious misbehavior- and reesteeming a post. Quality of posts can be measured in so many different ways. Intelligence. Quality of writing. Quality of Grammer. Importance of the Subject. Timeliness. Picture Quality. Formatting: (Bold-Italics). I can write a long grammatically accurate post about my coffee, but do you care? No. It lacks importance. I could see where sending Pocket Tokens on a post could potentially reward people who create really great posts. Sort of another way of saying good job. One job I worked at we gave people little "You Done Good" notes. (Yes, It was grammatically inaccurate.) It was a way of writing up that they had done something exceptional. If we were to use pocket in same way like that, it might add value. If we were to use Pocket Tokens to say Good Job. Sort of like when you are playing pool and you put multiple balls in the POCKET. Ultimately, if we don't do anything with pocket, they won't be worth much!

Sort:  

My thought with the curation thing was that a post's author could commit an amount of Pocket tokens to his own post, and then those tokens would go to the accounts that voted for the post. Or something like that. Thoughts?
