RE: Time To Wake Up and Fix Steem's Voting Problem
This is such a great point and thank you again for bringing it up. I feel that having a curation cut of 1/3 author, 2/3 curation, 1% burn on SBD. Everyone is a fan. Not everyone has dynamic blogging talent. Why not reward the excellent blogger/contributor and make it more of a market base of fans that get to say "I liked that before everyone else did?" You are going more with what is natural free will of what the user ultimately wants? Also, if you have a "cooling period," kind of like when you get to a live auction block. Everyone gets to see what is for sale prior to the auction, and then it goes live. After one day then it is live. Almost having a gray period when the post is released and is even eligible to be voted. The self vote would be also virtually nullified it you made a minimum curation amount on any vote, starting it at say 10% that is mandated to go into the curation pool of any post or comment, and then start the curation curve then on. All of that is a bit of pipe dream I know, but I am in agreement the 0 min vote maybe needs to go altogether?
Interesting suggestion, thinking about it :)
Thanks for humoring my rant. Facebook and just about every other tech giant is built on the tendency of people being sheep (fan boys and girls) has worked out pretty well for them. If we went to more of a model of "fans wanted, plus dynamic creators of content a bonus," versus "creators of content wanted [just along as they follow all the unwritten rules, and will give people a tiny bit back to those that are big enough and like the right stuff also]."
