RE: Steem isn't great at rewarding content, but it could be...
I would love this too and have desires that https://steempeak.com eventually have stuff like that... just a matter of getting some other things out first i suppose.
There are some pretty cool things we could do along that lines right on steempeak. I invite anyone really interested in this to come to our discord and ask for it so the rest of the team can see there is interest.
Maybe an automated donation (patreon) is a bit harder but a post per post manual donation thing wouldn't be terribly difficult and we could add some really nice easy UI for it... AND make sure that it is front-end agnostic (decentralized solution) that way other front ends could have matching data but with their choice of design.
That sounds awesome @jarvie its great to hear that you guys are eager to implement such a feature.
I think the potential benefits are quite obvious so I hope that your Team mates are convinced as well without everybody hopping over to discord.
Community involvement is always great, but to wait for it probably not always the best decision if you already have good ideas and features to implement.
But look at it from their perspective why would they work on a feature that no one asks for?
Thanks for showing interest and commenting @jarvie, but I’d have to agree with @masterthematrix in that it’s not like this is a new, untested idea where there’s no insight on whether or not it would be useful. It’s extremely common and there are whole (popular) platforms built on this simple concept. Waiting for people to come to discord to specifically ask for it introduces quite a few variables that have nothing to do with whether or not people would want or use this like:
How many people will see this post?
How many will take the call to action?
How many know about Steampeak already?
Etc.
You probably get what I’m saying.
Perhaps a better metric would be someone with a larger following doing a poll or something? I really don’t think much traffic is going to flow through this post to be honest. Anyway, again, thanks for showing interest and I’d really love to see something like this integrated on Steempeak! (obviously)

I agree, if the team is not convinced about a certain feature to implement than the support of the community is very useful. But the donation or tip button is pretty popular on all other social media sites, so its really worth trying, and I think you don't have to convince users to use it.
Sometimes users don't know either what works or what they desire :-)
Well then I'm just saying... say exactly what you said above so that I don't have to do all the work convincing them. haha
It's not like they need a poll... just some good arguments like you've laid out.
Haha good one, what can I say go for it and good luck!
I would be very happy to see it on Steempeak first since its my favorite front-end for Steem :-)
