RE: A Day Of Whale Abstinence Will Answer The Question!
But
the difference between whales and dolphins is larger than difference between Dolphins and minnows.
the influence is exponential so small differences have big impacts
Dolphins made their way through posting and curating so may like different types of post.
this what the platform will look like in the future
I think (3) is where the main difference will be due to a multifaceted approach to content that is lacking when 5-10 people decide (although I think they are also rewarding things that they are not genuinely interested at - but understand that others do... For example a whale may not be interested in recipes or photography but they may hit a few votes there too - to encourage diverse content for the good of the platform).
Then (2) - more rewards for bloggers, but smaller. As for (4) we'll see :D
I'm confused ... do you think it's a good idea or not?
I don't think much will change to be honest because the old whales that will not be participating will be replaced by the next most powerful users.
Some think that the whales give them the reward. In reality the whale does not hand out 100$ bills. The system does. The whale just tells the system that the reward pool should be allocated to users A, B, C. If the whale is not here, then someone else will have to allocate the reward pool. At that point, the most influential persons will be those who are mini-whales or mega-dolphins, which will be directing how the reward pool will be split. It's not much different really.
I get all that, but the difference would be of course that the votes will come from a whole lot of dolphins, rather than a small group of whales ... which should give better results.
instead 30 people deciding everything, there would be a 1000 people making the decisions ...
