RE: Where have all the upgoats gone? - The state of the Boost

in #minnowbooster7 years ago (edited)

​Am I missing something? So everything was fine, I was using your service with pleasure and happy when you were raising daily and weekly limit. My articles could get into hot in some tags and bigger audience could see my posts. Then you started to change algorithms, limits etc . Not so much profitable but I was happy agai ​ because you were the only service who could provide such a big vote.
Then, shortly you are introducing delayed voting after 15 min and explain that it is made for a sake of content quality.
Again, ok maybe it is a good idea (even though I did not like it ​) ​,and now not only minnowbooster is voting but also other curators. If we follow that logic, it opened more opportunities for authors, to rely not only on minnowbooster and his power.
However, now the magic happens which I really don't get. You are changing 3x maximum vote to x2.5 and introduce whitelist​ for super quality authors. It kind of pissed me off, why decrease maximum vote, if you never have 100 % (always at a 60-65 % level)?
Now I read another article by minnowbooster about the ​importance of quality content, that it should help to fight spammers etc.
So my thoughts are - maybe I am missing something and minnowbooster really have a plan? I am waiting patiently and what I see.
You are changing possible vote in such a manner that I should order either under 0.10 cents (or smth like that) or more than​ usd 10.5 (which is impossible because the ​maximum daily vote is 10). So you are gathering energy, you are almost 100 %, I am patiently​ waiting for the ​opportunity​ to use your service and bam you open it.
But there is a BIG BUT , you spent more than​ 20 % in couple hours on your whitelist members. I still cannot vote for usd 1,2 ,3,4 and like that until 10. I have the option​ to vote either before usd 0.5 or after usd 15.5.
So what was the point of this whole restructure? It is impossible to apply for whitelist, cause you accepted only like 200 accounts, you spent all your energy on them and you don't open possibility for casual minnows to get a small vote of usd 2-3.

I got very dissapointed in your service. I have a feeling that you guys only think about yourself and not trying to improve steemit society.
This is my personal opinion, but I am sure there are tons of people who feel the same - betrayed.

P.S. When you had nearly 100 % I have not seen a single 2x vote, I am not even talking about promised​ 2.5
Now you lost all your power again :)
