Although I am not fond of any ideas that limit engagement, I am hoping to get people to consider only upvoting comments that show they have read the article. Personally, I am voting articles at 1% and comments at a higher level.
I am only up-voting comments that show what I am calling POR. Proof of reading.
I want to see real live people who are reading, posting, commenting on others work.
(I am following you now!)
Yeah I try to upvote only comments that relate more that simply being generic. I'll upvote comments anywhere, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 50%, 100%. It all depends on the quality of the information in the comment, like the posts I upvote as well. Quality of information if what I mean by "quality" in general usually. Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with your POR initiative. I've paid out SBD for comments before in February when my vote was like 4 cents hehe.
That is the sort of research we should be looking at to find viable solutions within the blockchain tech.What @whatsup calls POR does exist - proof of human work (PoH) - and there is some research on it. Captcha is the classic PoH, something that computers find hard but humans find easy.
Well the bots are only one part. The issues was more to get relevant comments by testing if people read the content. So you ask about the content, not decipher a crazy captcha image hehe.
