RE: The Importance of Dogfooding in Steemit
Congratulations on the new position, Andrew!
I'm actually quite happy to see that this post will have some rewards.
Because IMO the biggest problem with declining rewards is always that other people are less incentivized to vote/curate, meaning the visibility by ranking in hot/trending is a lot lower and posts might not get the reach it should receive.
Now, if it's about making sure rewards are going to the right end, then beneficaries could be a solution.
But in any way - while I can fully understand that writing high-quality posts isn't always a realistic option when having too much to do already, giving Steemit Inc. employees more incentives to actually be active on their own platform - I think that's a great step!
Thanks and great points all around, including the beneficiaries idea.
Always good to see your cute little avatar ;)
This particular conversation brings up the transparency issue. Should each team member be freely able to use unlimited socks, then their actions on the blockchain will be cryptic.
While for many normal users this may be entirely expected, given the position of Steemit, and the potential for conflict of interest Steemit devs might be able to profitably employ due to their work on development, I'd recommend careful consideration of unrestricted botting, socks, and other specifics.
I'm not advocating for anything but prudence and diligence regarding potential issues that may arise if no guidelines or hard limits are effected.
Thanks!
