RE: Some Thoughts About the New Promoted Posts Feature
Good points.
But note the subject promoted feeds (crypto-news promoted ) for instance you only need $1 boost to make the top 10.
On Side note, It seems like most features here are designed for whales to use.What minnows need is sort by vote count or by 15-45minute post or high rep low post value. A minnow focus group might be nice for steemit devs.
lastly don't underestimate third parties. This site is headed in right direction for increasing visibility https://steem.li/momentum
Sybil!
Just adding a sort won't lead to Sybil. Steem.li handled it well only counting higher reputations.
Have you thought of a day with no whale votes for experimentation purposes? It would be interesting to see if Sybil is a problem on that day. https://steemit.com/steemit/@dennygalindo/a-day-of-fasting-on-votes-for-the-whales-9-9-16
Ok, so what percentage of the people that visit the Promoted page (not that much yet) will go and select the crypto-news category... and what if you don't write crypto-news related posts...
It should be easier to go to a category. Go to any category then promoted and it's an interesting list with low boosted values unless you want to boost in steemit.
This can work only if you post something in one of the popular categories, but what if your post is still interesting, but not in steemit, photography, life, introduceyourself, art etc? Or you should include an unrelated tag just to be added in a popular category... yeah, anything could be life :)
