Welcome back @acidyo!
It's great to see your spirits high and thinking of ways to more effectively tailor POSH to the current environment of Hive with specific considerations for supporting long time members who add positive influence to the network, and this could certainly ease the workload of the OCD.
How many curators are working for the team these days if I may ask?
It's cool that we have this beneficiaries thing too.. because it would be a nice way for content creators who are receiving continual support from OCD to pay it forward to the amazing people who've worked so hard supporting the Hive Blockchain :)
I think incentivizing vote % based on beneficiary contributions to curators should be a no no, because that would open the door for more suspicious connotation than anything, but I'm sure certain content creators will add some beneficiary support in the future no matter what, because it's just a good thing to do :)
These futuristic POSH thoughts are really tickling the futuremind's fancy, love it! :D
Including community curators/moderators I think we're at around 60, but given the times and post activity lately among other things we've been meaning to reduce it and maybe give some new (or old) ones a try.
beneficiaries are awesome but sadly not used much, I'd love to see it being used in more non-profit ways for everyone involved, like sending part to projects that assist the whole ecosystem (think the DHF or POSH (before its current issues)), in that regard I don't see how it could be abused if some authors prefer attention over rewards for certain posts but with the low user activity today I don't see many craving the attention neither.
Things can change quick, though.
I'm sure there's some old curators around who would be happy to come back.
That's a good point, the likeliness is low and wouldn't slip by the community if it started happening.
After all these years I am still of the mind that Hive is going to mass onboard and become a mainstream thing within the next 2-7 years. It might happen sooner, but time goes quickly when you're not thinking about it.
I see OCD as instrumental in the adoption and onboarding.
