Thank you @jaki01 for your point of view. By doing what you are proposing, there will be no incentive to discover content, which I found great on Hive since tiny accounts can get more rewards than whales. Only time will tell us 😁
@acidyo, another great idea to solve the competence for automatic curation rewards and welcoming more manual curation is just by adding a random timer for upvoting from 5 min to 60 min, so no automatic upvotes anymore on hive. By doing so, we will need to add the timer on each post like the "expiration time" function is working on peakd.
HF21 code:
"HIVE_REVERSE_AUCTION_WINDOW_SECONDS_HF21":300
HF24 code:
"HIVE_REVERSE_AUCTION_WINDOW_SECONDS_HF24":Random (300,3600) 😁 <-- the time is in seconds.
If the bots upvote at min 5 and the Reverse Auction for that post is 60 min, it would be like the bot is upvoting at min 0.8.
Isn't 'quality' itself a very strong incentive? In real life people pay to go to museums, concerts, to admire art of any kind! I am sure that many users would take the time to read again, explore content, be curios on new things ... if they wouldn't feel the pressure to maximize their curation rewards, if they hadn't the annoying feeling that others make money while they themselves are 'wasting' time with reading and upvoting (too) late. They could upvote great posts again which are even older than a day!
There wasn't any reason anymore to upvote posts like this, this or this.
If people have the choice between upvoting great stuff and low effort posts, with same rewards in both caes, I think the big majority will go for quality.
The idea of @acidyo, which you described, is very interesting!
