RE: Of Whales, Good Curators and People's Expectations...
I will try to catch you later tonight or this week on the chat to discuss robotev curation. I do not know whay you aee looking for exactly and if i can help, but a litlle discussion does not hurt.
I also agree than one should not curate for rewards, especially with a small amount of SP.
I'm looking for good curators, people that do it already and not ones that need some incentive or reward to start doing it... people like that start treating it like a job and it quickly gets boring and a mundane task for the day. With that said I'm sure that is what is happenign with Whaes as well, so they are trying to outsorce their voting power and get it out of their hands... ;)
Okay then let's talk :)
I'm not sure anyone is going to stop curating for rewards. I find that I'm attempting to "beat" the system as easily as possible too. It is kinda like a school test. How can I get the most rewards (an A) in the least amount of time possible with the least amount of effort? If I am going for an A because I don't want to fail the teacher's test, I follow what works to get an A. So, if all I have to do is upvote someone to get a reward, why do I need to spend time putting in the extra work regardless of what that would give me? (Humans invent machines to make less work possible, therefore, they free up time and energy to do other things.) - I'm not saying this is right, it just is. I've honestly liked creating my own stuff here. People upvote my stuff much more than any other platform I've been on. We'll see if I put in the work to get better.
I already know a few people. Not everybody has the monetary reward as a primary goal; I agree those guys are rare, but some are around :)
