RE: Let's Bring Promoted Posts Back - A Great Way To Reduce the SBD Debt!
Do you know what else will be very cool? If people can fly!!!
What I mean is too much of your post depend on "The unreasonable good behavior of humans.". [In this post here:]
Spend more time browsing the promoted posts.
What I mean is - if the devs of Steem had any desire to give incentives to people to spread promoted post it is actually dumb simple to do* [ several ours of coding max] ... but dumping Steem on exchanges seems more fun for them...
- -There is enough space to put promoted post links and short description on the left and right of each post.
- Give the post author of each each blog post the option to include[or not] promoted post in that space.
- Instead of burning 100% of SD paid to promoting a post, give % to authors promoting a 'promoted post' [How fair the split % is really is the lesser issue. You can split is as simply as 35% for promoting posts total + split proportional tho the payout of the promoting post ]
I get that there are a lot of things that can be done to enhance the site, which will give more value to Steem Power. The ideas you are suggesting are not bad. I actually think something similar to what you are proposing is being considered / is in the works.
If you just want to complain about how the site needs to be improved though and suggest that we should just stand by and do nothing until "the devs" do something to fix it, then I disagree.
The purpose of my post was to suggest something that anybody can do if they want, which has the potential to help solve the problem. If you don't want to spend time browsing posts because you don't think it's a good idea, then OK.
