RE: Is SteemIt.com Turning Into Federated Media?
I will consistently say that any changes of Steem and/or Steemit needs to relate specifically to adding incentives to encourage behavior as opposed to adding disincentives to discourage behavior.
Here's a potential solution I wrote the other day that requires minimal coding (and could probably be done now with the right bots programmed): Steemit Guilds
Hi @blakemiles84 and thanks, I'll check out the Guilds article. Regarding changes adding incentives, what do you think abut past changes that may be affecting incentives now: Was the "Featured Author" Trend Caused by the Reduction of Curation Awards in July?
I didn't know about that change... though I knew it was 50/50 at one point but when it became 75/25, I never even thought about the change hah.
I'm a big fan of content creation control -- basically giving content creators control over their payouts through baked-in smart contracts. I argue that this will expedite the markets movements towards new models and use cases that we can't envision yet.
It should solve any issues that come from the curation vs creation number battles.
