RE: Fixing Curation: Community Discussion

in #steemit8 years ago

Perhaps the solution is to increase the amount of upvotes from 5 to I don't know, for people to upvote more content, if the upvoting is the problem. The way I see it is that changing the post rewards vs curation rewards percentage will not get rid of bots. Unless there is a clear cut rule about it, they will continue to exist and profit and since there is no rule against it, they are in their rights, which I recognise. I don't think it will incentivise people to upvote content more. It moght make some people upvote content which they would not want to be upvoting, they will begrudgingly upvote. I think the big fish will still have an advantage over the little fish. I think the little fish will lose out even more, because it will not make more people upvote our content. I also think from what I see and know that the people who can't afford to spend too much time on steemit but post excellent content when they do will lose out even more. If a percentage HAS to change, I think 35% to creators is too drastic and unfair. Content creators still deserve to have the majority of a post's reward pool, they took the time to post content which they created, be in on their website, video channel, or specially for steemit. I believe the problem is with bots allowing people who post poor content to bid for votes. I personally would like to see a rule where bots MUST check the content they are to vote on, and if they deem it unworthy, then they send the bidders money back, or something. I don't know what the solution is, but I recognise that bots contribute to it and people who spam links that aren't even their own or copy pate content are also the problem. I don't think changing percentages for rewards will change any of that. We need to find a solution for the root cause of the problem, not the surface symptoms of the problem.
