RE: Stopping my powerdown to subsidize engagement

in #steem6 years ago

I don't know if @steem-ua is all we hope for it yet...but it really is a good choice for ROI for good users. Maybe we shouldn't think about ROI, because we should care about finding great posts to upvote...but @steem-UA does offer an algorithmic way to distribute the upvotes. We all put some of our eggs in one big basket, and it tries to doll them out a bit. In a sense, in the sense of ROI, it actually makes sense to buy upvotes, because they help our posts get a bit more, and we get more ROI and our accounts grow bigger, but it's giving money to accounts that we really shouldn't be. They don't care what they upvote. They upvote utter crap every day. They don't even read what they upvote. So, this kind of makes a bit of sense. Until something better comes along, @steem-UA sounds like it might be a good thing.

Me either which is why I think it needs to be tested well. And yes, it is good to actually discoer posts but with limited time and active SP, there is no way the search is posible. Perhaps in time, this can bring more people up to a level where they can search with SP.

Hypothetically, if someone works from 100SP to the 250 SP for 7 votes, every SP past that can go into curation. Currently, there are only a little over 15000 accounts with 250+ SP but, in the last week there are about 30+ accounts posting. Hard to say how many are automated but with all of the delegation to bots etc, there isn't much for organic discovery.

Until something better comes along, @steem-UA sounds like it might be a good thing.

My hope is it distributes and evolves to encourage better interaction and slowly, improve the environment to cut out much of the nonsense. Idealistic perhaps.
