RE: Thinking Out The Box: Curation Rewards
Excepti dont get a cut and altho i love digging fir gold its hard work. Sometimes i find good writers and convince them to change a little n it has paid off a couple times
"Curation" is truly a promotion thing. Much better than playing bidbots , you find ppl that will appreciate your work. Its not easy to get curied. But the big payouts provide curators some small incentives to keep digging.
I think curation itself is awesome. I also think it would happen if there were no curation rewards too. :0)
Most of us don't get any appreciable curation rewards anyway, only the big wallets do. Yet we curate.
We do indeed and works no doubt carry on as normal
This. Curation is an integral part of the Internet and has always existed.
From Usenet servers where one could actually follow and find, via the directories, to nowadays Google and (ugh) Facebook.
That is not to forget the Kottkes, Waxys, Daring Fireballs, Drudge Reports, Bleacher Reports, Boing Boings of the Internet.
Bonus: good curators have always found audiences, followers and generally financially fared really well. Yes, often by means of advertising but those were the known and obvious models.
It's true, it is a vital part of every other major site and they often do do well.
well people would upvote things and authors would have to pimp their stuff harder--- the thing is that groups like curie work in part because there are curation rewards. there are many curators out there right now digging for stuff that curie group will agree to support. THe problem right now isnt curation rewards. Its just another talking point in service to the questions of quality and rewards. THESE PEOPLE that question curation rewards are people that have bid bots. As has been said. minnows upvote stuff even though it makes them nothing and doesnt make the author anything either. THE biggest problem is the gap between dolphins and whales IMO, I have yet to seen anyone with an economics degree AND also a vast understanding of PR .
we have all these specialists in their islands shouting. But the truth is that no one really knows what will make steemit go viral. I mean actually you should watch this https://steemit.com/steemit/@sirlunchthehost/the-crypto-struggle-showcast-presents-talking-with-techslut-we-discuss-flags-steemit-and-surviving-the-ecosystem-exclusive-video
I will have a look. The thing is though that this is not about making steemit go viral. It will or it won't. I have great hopes that it will take off and be successful even more so than it is just now.
I question curation rewards because I have seen quite a few posts about them recently. They have never been a consideration for me. I suspect that it is the case for a lot of other people too.
Groups like curie could still carry on, there are many ways for funding community initiatives. I don't have a problem with curators getting paid. Nor actually a huge problem with curation rewards.
But when there is a problem I like to offer a solution that others have not thought of. It's the magic of community :0)
Sure, sure. Suggest away lol. N i may disagree :P
Quite right, now imagine me cackling away like a sailor who has smoked too many pipes :0)
Lol put down the pipes!!! Btw... i noticed you have 24k steem power but arent getting a good ROI. We should discuss this in discord
I do have 24k. It's splendid! I don't worry too much about the ROI though. It's all about voting on what I like for me :0)
