Feature Suggestion: Revenue splitting from Curation Rewards
But as I understand it, it will be limited to Author Rewards only. Is it really so? In my opinion it doesn't make sense to boost creating of new (higher quality) content without also boosting curation. In other words, how can one benefit from better content if there will be so much of it that the 'right' content will never reach the 'right' person? Follow can help a bit, but it will never be able to show posts from new authors.
The solution to this problem is a better recommendation system than what we have now on steemit.com (sections home / new / hot / trending / promoted and tags). A system which will be able to make personalized suggestions of posts you might like based on what you upvoted in the past.
Such a system is not a simple venture, though (think Google). And it will need a business model. The most straightforward option is sharing of Curation Rewards.
It could work in the following way: Let's say the system suggests you 10 posts. Of these 10 posts most (say 7-8) will look really interesting and you will proceed to read 4 of them. Of these 4 appealing posts 2 will be really awesome and you will upvote them.
Wouldn't such a system be awesome? Would you be willing to share a percent of your curation rewards, given the value it would bring?

I would suggest based not on upvoted but based on posts reading. Sometimes people just upvote whale's post because it's whale's post
Nice post, got me thinking a lot! 😁 Followed and resteemed.
The recommendation system is one of the pain points at the moment and you've an interesting take on it. I read recently @stellabelle and others looking for a new feed for the most views, it's discussed here.
The was also recently an idea to split blog and resteems into separate tabs (which didn't make it, it seems). Another idea would be to have top resteems as a feed, or maybe most resteems? There's a lot of ideas.
There could be lots of system filters, but also even the possibility of custom filters, tailored for or even by the user. I'm floating the idea here as being something I could pull out of the metrics engine I've created for my voter bot:
Can I ask you clarify something? You say
If "the system suggests", this is an automatic thing right? If so, who would you need to share you curation reward with? System rewards are taken care of more or less by witness rewards for keeping things going.
You also say "A system" earlier, so do you mean that third party "suggesters" could take a cut of your curation reward for suggesting cool stuff? If so, this seems like it could work in tandem with the resteem ideas, kind of like a referral link, without changing too much about things.
🤔 Lots of questions! 😅
I rreally like the idea of a tab for most views. Maybe trending could be based on most views rather than payout? Even better, what if author rewards was partly due to views as well as votes?
There are a few problems with that that others have identified
Views are really a problematic metric and to be honest I'd quite nearly side with the idea of removing it entirely.
Well put @personz I agree.
There are two possibilities for the recommendation system:
or
+ the recommendation logic is completely separate from blockchain logic and is very different (computer security, network communication, economics vs. statistics, data analysis, machine learning, deep learning). Why should steem developers be doing it instead of doing what they know the best?
+ recommendation system is a very complicated thing and will need to be continuously improved. Every time an improvement is made there would have to be a hardfork.
+ the computational demands of such a system might be huge. The market needs to say whether the value brought is worth the costs, or not. If we tie it to the blockchain it could drag down Steem as a whole in case it is uneconomical. When separate, the system provider could adjust the service based on how people value it. In case it is uneconomical, it will just stop the service. Maybe someone else will find a cheaper / smarter approach.
- the disadvantage is, that currently there is no business model for developing and running such a system. Sharing revenue from curation rewards is one way to fix this. (Although not a perfect one - people could still receive the recommendation and then upvote it through other means)
Thank you for sharing, in my opinion curation is an integral part of steem. This is an amazing platform that must consider progressing further than just a motive talking point. Upvoted and followed!!
I would agree if we were seeing real curation efforts by more accounts. As curation works now it is just an easy way for people to invent bots that are gaming the system to earn curation. I hope they will not do anything to increase the motives for more bots, more fake curation, etc.
My bot actually automatically upvoted this 😅 I'm glad it did, good article and means my algorithm is working to find posts I actually like
I agree that it would be ideal if the final decision were made by a human. On the other hand I see the filtering of posts you might like by automated systems as inevitable. If Steem is to be successful, the number of posts must grow. On the other hand we must make sure that the growth will not kill it, which is likely to happen in case people won't be able to reach posts they like.
As you know, I do manually curate and share what I consider to be the best of what I've read but, it takes a lot of reading and filtering out to get to that point in a day which is likely why there is not a lot more of it happening. Steemtrail is doing a great job of trying to overcome that and build community.
Nice post.
nice post.!!
thanks for sharing @hr1
Good luck.!!
Upvote and resteem.
Follow you.
♡♡♡ @hr1
I strongly support the steemit program to achieve a more advanced forward
Huh, real interesting!!! The future will tell...
Hello @hr1 and thank you for the upvote to my post about the watering system (here). I've followed you :-) Thanks again.
