RE: Are You Seeing the Truth? What Is Your Vision of Steem?

in #steem • 6 years ago

what passes for curation on this platform amounts to a race to see who votes fastest. It does very little to move actual good content to greater visibility.

All too often the race to vote is being accomplished with bots and autovoting. Increasing the curation rewards increases the incentives for bot owners while taking rewards away from the content creators.

Content creators already feel largely undervalued now. Decrease what they they earn now and more good content creators will be looking for other avenues and leaving the platform to the spammers and shit posters.

    You probably missed this 👇

    the exponential increase would favour high SP users too much, hence the adding a cap to the modest superlinear, which means having linear rewards on the higher-end SP so that high SP users wouldn't get the disproportionate influence.

      I'd agree with this. I'm sliding between a casual/active user and 50% of my voting power are automated, so I can imagine more being entirely automated. It's not a problem, because I'm curating trustworthy accounts that way, and have the network build from there.

      It does very little to move actual good content to greater visibility.

      Will have a better chance to happen under our proposal.

      Again, autovoting isn't the problem. Misaligned incentives is the problem. Curation should be more incentivised.

      Content creators already feel largely undervalued now. Decrease what they they earn now and more good content creators will be looking for other avenues and leaving the platform to the spammers and shit posters.

      Our proposal will reduce spam and shitposters. 50% curation rewards might sound like taking away from authors, but what happens if it results in a better Steem? We definitely could use more curators than authors, which is what this proposal seeks to achieve.

      Thanks for your feedback.
