RE: Steemit developer curation experiments, brace yourselfs, major changes are coming
@craig-grant "HVC" High Value Curator ... much better term!
The static curation value that is bot-ted is surely a problem that many of us would love to see improved upon!
yes.. High Value Curator or "HVC" does have nice corporate sound.
"whale" sounds like ghetto slang
Who exactly is this curating being done for, anyway, by the way? Is it meant as a way to improve the image of the site? People's votes already push posts up and down by differing amounts according to their vesting. Surely the ones who win the most votes should simply represent the ones that the members agree with most?
I don't think that this popularity contest at all helps the system and curators are net takers of value. It nullifies the benefits of having people come in with big money and raising the potential reward height, which keeps the posters competing with each other, and raises the quality benchmark all by itself. Curators cannot possibly substitute for this, and I think the value of non-aggressive shunning upon those who post rubbish has been ignored, and instead we have flamewars here just like reddit, which I believe was something that the creators were trying to eliminate.
