RE: Selling votes through beneficiaries

in OCD4 years ago

Totally agree on the intent. I'd love to see community owners use it to sponsor advertising, community contests, etc. as well. I think we're bound to see plenty of situations like this though where a community is driven/bootstrapped by a single large account. Acting in good faith that's great for Hive distribution, engagement, and retention. In bad faith... well, see your post above! ☝️

Yeah, right now while those community settings aren't in place yet, we're voting on curation compilations/reports of many communities in our incubation to reward the curators, moderators and at the same time also fund some tipping activity for posts that may not be as great to nominate for curation yet (but you want to motivate them to do better) or comments that standout since the curation curve tax kinda makes it hard to give comments a decent upvote. So we've been using this "hack" to fund contest rewards and keep people who do work alongside the communities a lot but don't post themselves but it would be much better with beneficiary options from the beginning. Hopefully we can focus on the community development after this next HF!
