Adding a Patreon style model to content monetization
I was thinking that Steemit has this voting system that is great for rewarding content creators. The problem is you have to constantly monitor the site in order to reward and be rewarded for curation. This is okay for browsing content, but not all content is good for this model. I think there should be a Patreon style option too where a user can pledge a certain amount of SBD monthly for some kinds of content.
The content creator specifies a particular piece of content as serial. This allows users to subscribe to a particular piece of the creator's content. Subscribers are not able to vote on that particular content but non-subscribers can. Those that do subscribe however get a portion of the author's reward, say 25%. This allows users to support creators without losing on the rewards for curation. The author gives up some of his rewards but is guaranteed some income on each post (assuming it worthy to subscribers).
So, do you think a model like this or similar should be implemented into Steemit?
wow this is a great idea!
Interesting idea. Subscribers vote if creator of content has minimum rating on the post. Another words it isnt an automatic vote from subscribers, needs to meet minimum criteria. Voting bots on the platform, some use an algo for that.
Would like to see more on this. You should research this!
Good stuff man
Subscribers don't vote because they are getting part of the rewards already. Subscibers are like co-creators, they are putting up funds for the project in advance.
Excellent idea! I have thought about the same,and have written an article that I have not yet posted,because it´s unedited. I am now following you. Let´s work together to improve this platform,to make it more fair and interesting,and to support causes(like an Universal Basic Income,and environmental work) and people.
I am still getting my head around steem as it is now but this sounds interesting. Do you have a patreon now?
