RE: Overhaul of Curation Rewards

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Please correct me where i'm wrong

" Any content that isn’t worth discussing is probably not worth rewarding "
This sounds to me that we urge you to write or share posts that is dear to the current community and we discourage you to write anything else. Just write how you like steemit and introduce yourself ( how was your life so far as we are something like a reality show). Try as hard as you can to not guide thematology.

" It has become clear that Steem is evolving toward rewarding original content over rewarding cross-posting content. We need to maximize the incentives for original content creators above all. "

This sounds to me that we don't like variation. When you look at the front page of any social media think what you are doing. You scroll down, check different topics, you pick what interest you and you read it. Not only because you want to learn something ,or motivate yourself but to get news, have fun, pass your time. By doing this, there is no point for someone to post news or something funny or anything else like kittens :) because he or she will get a 0. No motivation there. You get traffic by cross-posting content and that's what we need. Everyone is trying to write his unique or not article and thumbs up for doing it, but we lack of a powerful feed. And here is where i ask, what are we trying to accomplish? Do we want this place to be an e-magazine with a few good writers and people who just read this place or an interactive social media, in which everyone posts anything and people talk about, agree or disagree ,fight or make friends

" Activity Rewards
These rewards are distributed proportional to the amount of Steem Power your account has"

" Comment Rewards
Comments at any level will divide up the $2,500 proportional to the total amount of Steem Power voting on the comment."

My opinion is Steem Power to get something indeed this is the core of everything but not have a huge impact

Excuse me for the long comment

I agree, this was the only thing I have issues with in the changes (majorly anyways). I think "original content" that adds value should be rewarded more then say a copy paste article. But by all means discouraging copy and pasting or saying it may not bring the same value as an original post is rubbish. At one time it was an original post and if it has just been released that day then I see no reason why a brand new article that wasn't posted by the original author can't be taken and posted here by someone else earning them financial compensation.

I wanna see this beautiful thing grow, it can cover multiple topics, people are saying it won't be the next Facebook and I see no reason why it can't be. I see it as a mix between Reddit and Facebook (potentially) taking the best of both worlds and mixing them together. I see no reasons why we can't have people from around the globe all discussing a variety of topics.

Crypto's may have been the first group interested in this but I don't see why it can't "evolve" where we have entire groups who enjoy meme's of cats
;-) lol.
