I hope that's not a silly hope.
Pretty sure it is, lol. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
it seems to me less and less people are using the POB front end and more and more are using #pob hashtag on other fronts and benefiting from it.
I'm with you here. We're being taxed 10% for our posts for posting directly from the front-end and showing our commitment. Pretty frustrating (edit: the 10% tax actually applies no matter what front-end that is used). I've personally been setting @pob-fund as a 10% beneficiary for every post I write also, so that's a double whammy when there is very little communication and progress to motivate.
Let's see how the upcoming week goes and we can put forward some necessary proposals.
Also, the WOTW is there to lift some spirits and to provide an opportunity for learning. Consistency is needed ;)
I found out this story about the 10% @prooofbrainio receives, in a comment from someone who joked that there is less benefit to posting on the front end of pob than simply using the hashtag talking about anything on another front. This struck me as quite incoherent and obscene.
Depends how you look at it and who you are. If you are an author who benefits from regular upvotes from a large stakeholder who votes on posts that are just tagged, then you'll be laughing, but if not then you miss out on the curation done solely within the community tag.
It's still not right. I'll likely make a proposal for this in the coming weeks.
I'll give you my example: I don't have to complain about the amount of votes I have. Most of my posts get a fair vote... But I confess that I find it a little offensive when posts that are not made inside the pob front end get so many high votes. There should be a benefit limit for people who get votes for just using the tag.
