RE: Confessions of a Curating Minnow
I think you have some good points. @dantheman even mentions that curating minnows can provide good data to whales or whale bots. I think it would be great if we could find a way to reward minnows who do a consistently good job of curating. For example, imagine a whale bot which rewards curating minnows with a little of its earnings. Or, if this were somehow incorporated into the Steem core code. It seems like if curating minnows are not rewarded, an important part of the Steem ecosystem is not being properly rewarded for their contribution and may stop providing the curation service.
We have to fix this before synereo is up!
This is true. I think we have to realise that the interaction on this network needs to be different from what we're used to with things like facebook etc. If the minnows who are not invested (and there will always be a large portion) then they have less incentive to respect the platform and do things that would be good for the steemit community, not just themselves. For many of us this is a long term investment, which is why they take its prosperity seriously. Anybody else, in their nature, seek short term fulfillment. If there is a way to incentivise minnows to vote better I think that would be a great benefit to us all.
