RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change

in #steem7 years ago

I have a second proposal after reading @timcliff's comment. We could also try to make a second type of delegation, where rewards are split. This could allow me to effectively hire a curator. I'll delegate steem, you get 10-20% of the rewards, and I'll get the other 80%. Something like that may allow for better curation without a whale having to be entirely philanthropic about it.

Sort:  

If you want quality curation you will have to be a bit more generous than that. I would say along the lines of 40/60. Delegator would get 60%, and curator would keep 40%. Delegators can set up their own rules and guidelines what would constitute as a quality curation, which could even include downvoting abuse/plagiarism/etc. This kind of movement just might make the platform work for everybody.

This could work! I think @geekgirl already requested to have some SP delegated to her for curation purposes somewhere here in the comments. I believe she'd be up for this, an probably many other as well.

I think curation is the single most important factor here on the platform going forward. The rewards, the tools for filtering and the incentives probably all deserve still a lot of development to reach the goal of really rewarding quality content.

This is a great idea.

That's pretty brilliant. Hiring curators. YES!

I've had the same thought in the past and totally agree it's a worthy change: as a delegator it quickly becomes obvious that a system for automating the curation split would save both parties some headaches. Probably the biggest headache with currently splitting rewards is that the curation reward is in SP which isn't immediately transferable by the curator to the delegator.

Sign me up, Boss!

Srsly.
