RE: Last Night I Dreamt About Steemit — 10 Suggestions To Make the Platform Grow
Great ideas, thanks for sharing
It is really almost there already using the tags list isnt it? I know that some users may be so ignorant as to not understand anything even after spending some time on it, but the dynamics of Steemic seems to lend it self to usermade guides and not made by the site managers
I see you point. The voting from the short list does not take the value of the contgent too much into consideration, but rather the reputation, fish size, speed of voting and current value. I am nor sure if this proposal will make the voting proces too slow, on the other hand minnovs are better of posting and commenting, than voting, so you may be onto something
I like this proposal. There are too little quality comments, and more comments to cash in (i feel), but then smaller comments of thanks or the like, from the original poster, may be needed. But that is matter of habits i suppose. Voting a comment can functiuon that way.
Sounds good to me. Anything that can raise the standard generally, and inhibit low quality, i like
I am not sure if i understand your proposal, but the purpose is fine.
Btw.There is a incentive to focus on the last 24 hours, and older posts not revceiving much if any. That may change if Steemit goes mainstream and the sheer amount of users makes older quality posts profitable. But at the moment there is not much incentive for voting or commenting older posts and i think that is not the bestI am not sure that will work. There should not be more expenses to becoming better at Steemit (nor the other way round). Is it not a sort of welfarementality?
I would be surprised if something of that sort is not already on the drawing board.
Again, this feels like "tax the rich" kind of thinking. There are incentives to make money on Steemit, so taxation of being rich works the opposite of that incentive
The incentive should always be to seek out quality posts and reward that. The whales are going to have to spread their curation out more as more users come in and then i think rewards will be more levelled and fair. But there are many parameters to consider and tweaking a bit here may have an unwanted consequence somewhere else. The old statism problem
There are certainly room for improvements everywhere on the steemit platform. It will evolve steadily over time, but the uniqueness of Steemit makes it something that should evolve as a new kind of platform, not an emulation of what is already there, like facebook
Point 2: People don't have the time or will to read all the B.S. that's being posted.
Point 3: People don't have the time or will to respond with a lot of B.S.

They would have to make time if they want to get the reward. Right now there is not much work that needs to be done in order to get there. We are talking about a social media blog form. reading is rather obligatory. otherwise it becomes a click parade.
I already mentioned about the minimum word number in order to avoid bullshit commenting.
Just goes to prove that time is money. M(oney) = E/c^2.
@mandibil
These are some good ideas. IMO, it's too controlling though. There doesn't need to be a system of taking from those who are most productive, nor limiting them. We can use other words, but it's either a tax or a fee.
Steemit doesn't need the dough, so it's not for the platform. Distribution is really based on what people choose to do. Rather than attempting to control users, which necessitates some form of arbitrary and subjective rules, how much better to continue to educate people? Better to have folks acting responsibly than set boundaries so they have no choice.
@anotherjoe
I just see as an initial investement. The whales of today will retire in a year or two. New whales will pick up. The option then can be turned off.
I am a proponent of spontaneous order myself but we need to cook the brew a lit bit more before we let it roam free.
