Man that was hard to follow!
We shouldn’t be calculating anything in terms of UsD or any other currency. We should be calculating it in terms of the total daily rewards pool, and the total fund for proposals.
I didn’t agree about 50% curation or downvotes but the overall atmosphere has gotten a lot better and I can see how both played a part.
Now we just need to get more users onboard. Good job at reddit. I just made a post making the case for you tubers to ease their way over here and help build this place together. I like dans invitation for people to drop YouTube completely, but I think that’s pretty terrifying to any who are still monetized so it depends on the YouTuber. It will take some time for them to move their followings over here so we need to give them ideas about how to do it and why it’s beneficial for everyone (rewarding good comments, contests for fan base, ability to form a community around a topic)
I feel personally responsible for 5xing our user base haha. I want to see this place with the numbers steem used to have, I think we could keep them
