RE: Did You Know: When you post using eSteem, 5% of rewards are disbursed to @esteemapp? Also, Self Voting Witnesses - a slippery slope, or a level playing field?
I think it would be reasonable to have a message in the app about it though? I personally knew about it because I follow eSteem dev posts but I've talked to several people about this and most of them were not aware that reward share was happening.
Yes, FAQ is in works and will be incorporated with new release as I mentioned in above comment and users will have to manually accept terms of usage.
Yes that's good, but I would advocate something like a first time pop up on first vote unless it was really drawn attention to in the ToS.
It's just in the interest of full consent and understanding, not against the usage of beneficiaries, which I think is really great. Some of those I spoke to we're not happy about it not being clear so actually you have to repair that trust a little I think. It was not up front to add it without an in app message to being with.
...but there is no mention of it when someone decides they want to see if there is a SteemIt app in the App Store and instead finds and downloads esteem... taking 5% of a bloggers rewards through an app without prior notification within said app is... wrong.
