RE: Steemit Suggestion Box: A Modest Proposal to Solve the Trending Page Issue, Once and for All
Hi @denmarkguy
Thanks for the great mention!
I'm surprised a @curie curator hasn't arrived here yet, but I guess what you are suggesting is a 'community curie' type thing.
I'm pro anything that is an attempt to organically push content into trending, it's certainly going to be easier said than done though.
As an aside, did you see this one: https://steemit.com/dlive/@revisesociology/8ac63fd0-53e3-11e8-8cf9-1b93be2e52ab
The account got a quadruple whammy of curation team votes on the post discussed, and it currently sits at $32. He's taking it well, but really, is that all we got?!
Cheers!
You're welcome @abh12345! This kind of thing matters to me; content and community matter to me.
I've also been part of "get paid to write" venues online for close to 20 years, ALL of whom believed they were "different;" ALL of whom (except for TWO of about 100) suffered similar demises. Steemit is also "different," but that doesn't exempt us from having to deal with the wiles of human nature. AKA... greed and short term thinking.
Yeah, I saw that post... and I realized it was more of "a reflection of human nature." The curation guilds involve things like "fairness" and "spreading the wealth." Hence, his post was authentically curated and given a "fair" upvote by each because "in all fairness" there are LOTS of people worthy of a "fair" upvote. Buying a bid bot vote is all about "ME, the MOST, FIRST!" Whole different kettle of fish.
Paging Mr. @carlgnash, your input and thoughts are welcomed and invited here! And I'm not being flip; I believe this is an issue near and dear to your heart.
Yes, I have read your thoughts on this in the past, and respect your opinion due to the time you've spent online producing content.
On reading @yabapmatt's post today, I've gained a bit of new insight and this may fuel a post or two in the next couple of weeks.
Sadly, I don't think the post addresses the state of play here, as much as it discusses the maybe's of SMT.
Come on Mr Nash, we are waiting :)
i know this is so surprising!! first that he got curated by each of those teams haha! awesome! but shocking that it doesn't even make it to trending. was it you or someone else who said that back in the day getting curated by one of those teams would actually put you in trending.. oh the good old days (that i wasn't even here for..) lol
Yep what a sterling effort!
And yes, back in the day @curie had a huge delegation and so their team decided what made it to trending. Pretty confident that page looked a lot better from the outside looking in than it does these days. sighh :)
