Yes, indeed. This boost is amazing. Lots of voting. Still in question about the debate about auto and manual curation. I would like to see if the community has other solutions. Like for example...
exponential curation based on weight!
It can (should be) manual, but if a certain weight is gained (aka SP accumulated voting), then the auto voting can kick in (safely) at a prescribed adequate value (if already above a certain value, then there is no need to auto-vote). But if let's say, 2 power users upvote within the first day, then it makes sense to auto-upvote.
Something like this.
Disclaimer, a bit off topic... I know.
I'd love to read a full fleshed out post on this topic :) That could spark discussion!
I know someone (damn memory), already started something out there. But maybe you are right... sparking discussion might be a good idea. On to it...
Would love to read a full fleshed out post on this idea, that could spark discussion. Currently curation rewards are pretty weak and mostly not worth the effort, while enabling behavior that only helps the whales.
