I don't fully agree on the dislike based on rewards being impacted for users
We'll see existing post values begin to decline as more and more of these posts are published and upvoted. An equal percentage loss on all posts, barely noticeable if token value continues to rise. Everything will eventually balance out.
I voted for both of the posts so far. That means at least two content creators won't be seeing a vote from me. If an account gives more here, there's less to give elsewhere, and that does lead to fewer rewards placed upon genuine content.
Technically yes, there's potential loss. Is it worth freaking out about? Probably not.
The ugly trending page pushes eyes away. Content creators lose out on the added visibility that's supposed to come along with having a successful day. That leads to a small potential loss as well. And of course it's not just content creators losing out due to lack of eyes on the prize. Developers making major announcements for new or improved products on chain take a hit. It's everyone. Some content creators who aren't aware of how damaging over exposure is to their brand also contribute to turning eyes away from the trending page; but at the same time it's not really their fault so many choose to automatically vote blindly.
Trending is like the display window for a shop. Of course you'll see far fewer new customers walk in the door if that display is a complete mess.
Appreciate the thoughts.
Each time I hear the intacacies and conflict points involved with reward pool I keep thinking about how we need a release valve to take the pressure on that reward pool... I would like to see a tipping system provide that.
My tip doesnt impact anyone else... so I hope I can help make a better user experience for that coming up.
It doesn't directly solve these arguments but just hoping for a release valve and thought I'd bring up a semi-related topic haha
I myself give perhaps at least half of my votes to comments as a way to incentivize interaction because content voting is one thing but I wish people did more interaction voting
The only issue with tipping on this platform is the fact most come to make money, not give money. I've been going on about attracting the consumer type crowd for years, since they bring disposable income with them. And even then, voting is a far better deal to the consumer. That turns disposable income into an investment in entertainment or whatever, rather than a cost.
Voting comments is something I've always done. In a perfect world I wouldn't use my stake to vote other posts. I'd create content, entertain people, then shower them with gifts in the form of comment upvotes. It's really no different than offering someone a free coffee. Offering incentives creates competition. Others would have to hold their post earnings in order to take care of their consumers as well. It's such an intriguing business model but most of the potential goes over a lot of heads.
