The design of this project is intended to result in the community creating their own posts which will then be curated, creating opportunities for the community to add valuable information to a group task and to earn rewards for doing so. The content will have good SEO value and will be highly shareable on Web 2.0 platforms (once the project matures) - offering an excellent way for Hive to be promoted organically on Web 2.0 platforms. We are using proof of brain to 'mine the truth' using the wisdom of the crowd - it is an idea that is very well suited to Hive.
Since this is a new project, we are creating the first posts in order to demonstrate how the project works and so our own posts have been upvoted. This is in no way an attempt to 'farm' the reward pool, it is simply a new project that is gaining promotion and visibility through upvotes (which is how DPOS and POB were designed to operate since the beginning).
Crowd Facts has been created with support from @resonator, which is an account supported by JamesC, one of original developers of the Steem blockchain that Hive is dependent on. Resonator promotes Hive, supports decentralization and incubates projects on Hive that stand a chance of adding value to Hive. Resonator's aim is to improve Hive's utility and to increase the value of the Hive token.
Crowd Facts is a decentralized project that aims to motivate and empower the Hive community to work together to achieve a common goal. The individuals who run the Crowd Facts account are intended to have minimal involvement with the project once it is established.
The project aims to uncover the truth of important subjects by applying the 'wisdom of the crowd' to the idea of 'fact checking' in use by Reuters and other similar platforms. The Crowd Facts team aims to be neutral and will generally only act to help to grow the project.
Since Crowd Facts is primarily a curation project and not an authorship project, plus also to protect those involved from malicious attacks (should uncomfortable truths emerge as facts are checked), it has been decided that the Crowd Facts team will remain anonymous.
You have failed to convince me. At this point I feel that this “project” or rather just a blog with a few links is valued nothing from my point of view.
The original post for this project outlines the intended roadmap, which includes custom website and browser plugin development, plus a layer 2 token for the project. This is dependent on the community taking interest in Crowd Facts since their engagement is what powers the project. We do not expect anyone to be convinced by the vision of the project - it's a new idea and experiment that needs to prove it's own value over time.
Good luck herding the cats here.
Absent whale support I don't see you finding many willing to participate.
When a whale votes redfish starve.
IF we are trying to distribute a coin, better to give the redfish more as there are more of them than the ~36 whales, ergo, this is not a 'good' idea.
Imo.
Define “we”. You must do your own investigation
Traf is a bot. Everyone in hive is well aware of that.
Also it is irrelevant whether the vote is manual or bot.
My point is these posts doesn’t have any value. It is just farming the reward pool.
This post has value and engagement.

By 'We', we mean the Crowd Facts team.
Please list the members of the “team”

I understand the need for caring for Hive, but you have a strong bias that does not help.
