I honestly don't trust the view count much, I think it's just wrong, numbers always seem too low to me.
There are real curators, I'm sure of that, but we'd get a lot more manual curators if they didn't tend to get rewarded better adding their SP to a curation bot. Just the 30 minute delay alone will lead a lot of users to think that bot curator rewards are better, because the bot will tend to wait till near the end of the 30 minutes and the guy testing against his own curation won't realize he's been throwing away his curation rewards.
your milage may vary.
from what I can tell the view count MIGHT overstate reality.
based on comments.
I read a lot of posts that I don't comment on, regardless of whether I like them or not, and I guess a lot of people are probably the same way. An upvote is easy: writing a thoughtful comment beyond "good post" can sometimes be mentally taxing, especially if you're an introvert like me. And, I rarely feel compelled to comment on a post I don't like, unless I really don't like it a lot.
I agree with this entirely! If I don't have anything to say, specific to the content, I will happily upvote or not and move on.
View count is only on Steemit. There are other platforms that you can view posts on.
what are the percentages?
I think no one knows.
yeah, I don't know. I'm sure I saw someone a few weeks back that had statistics about relative use of the different platforms. Can't remember who it was or how they worked it out. Initial posts, at least, store the platform it was posted from in the json metadata.
So I guess that answers the question about tying the vote count to the page view. Only votes done on steemit then would count. Bummer, I thought it was a good defeat the bots idea.
That was probably me. You can get it from the json metadata or the beneficiaries payment field.
Totally true! And if that is not fixed is because somebody is getting benefit of that in some way. So much have been done and that little details could make a great difference.
They'll still be rewarded better by bots.
