RE: The never-ending discussion surrounding autovotes | Can autovoting be improved or made more fun?

in #hive4 years ago (edited)

If you make curation rewards more linear the more successful an author gets over time then it would encourage true content discovery. For example you could incorporate the reputation score of the author being voted on into the post curation rewards algorithm in a way such that curation of low reputation authors would be subject to a more exponential reward curve and curation of high reputation authors would have a more liner curation reward curve. This could stop the early vote stacking on historically popular authors as there would be minimal exponential advantage to voting early on those posts and shift the people chasing exponential rewards towards true content discovery of less known accounts and spread the votes over a wider distribution. I know reputation is not a perfect indicator after the bidbot years but it's somewhere to start. I guess the downside it would make self voting of accounts with high reputation slightly more profitable. But you would not have to make it completely linear just at a comparative disadvantage to the posts with lower reputations.
