What are the requirements for content to be rewarded upvoted or curated?
Fantastic question. The truth is that people's content ought to be rewarded base on quality of the content. But the truth is that this has never been like that in this community. It has always been base on friendship.
I could remember some times last month that @nikkybabe call the attention of @onealfa.pob and @leprechaun to a content that was written by someone and the person delete the content instant and wrote error, yet the content was give 40pob while content written by me was given was given 0.45pob.
The major requirement should be the quality of post rather than what i term "padi-padi" i.e friendly relationhip of upvoting content.
Honestly i see the way content is being voted as a political way rather than quality of content. I have written a lot of quality post on football yet you will see someone who posted his picture where he is smoking weed having more upvote than i do. The truth is that it can be discouraging but for me i don't allow that to bother me.
Upvoting in this community is about choice. You don't have the right to dictate to The curator on the type of post they should upvote. Is their choice to avoid any content they want because your choice is different from others choice. You might not be interested in something that I'm interested in.you might be interested in sports and I'm really not interested in sports so if you post any quality things about sport I might not upvote it.
The solution to this is trust that you two should stake pob and don't wait for upvoted and you too you should have and gained power to also upvote or be a curator
While I do agree with you on the quality of content and also that it should not be only friendly upvotes. But honestly, having connections does make a different. You must know people, interact with them and that's when you would start getting more engagement on your post. Only good quality content and only having friendships never works.
Then upvoting will now be base on how well you know people rather than the quality of content you write while those with fine and quality post who do not know anyone will not get upvote.
how then do you think newly introduced member will benefit from the community? i mean those that do not know who to approach or do not have connection but are very creative?
I'm about to write a content on curation, i will publish it as soon as possible for you to understand the basics of curation and content.
while you are writing a content you must know what the choice of the community and curation to catch their attention.
you dont expect me to curate what its not my choice, if you post sport related content here you might probably get curation fron those who love sport.
you are right. Most time it is by choice and what someone is really interested in reading. but the truth still boil down on the fact that so many people upvoted base on connection rather than voting base on creativity and quality of content.
That would be great. I try and follow the OCD recommendations for curation here: So What’s The Criteria For A Quality Post? - How Curators Make Their Selections....
I usually hop on about twice a day and spend a couple of hours each time reading and voting. I don't always get through everything I would like because there are instances of fraud that come up that I need to deal with. When I've addressed it, I'll usually stop curating to take a break.
I really learnt from it a lotThanks for sharing this content with us @scholaris.pob
