Yeah, pretty much. New content pinned to the top, main comment is a post, popular comment trends high, with feedback and comments under, just like Youtube. The value distribution trickles down and the consumers who actually staked get rewarded/give rewards. That's why I was such a huge fan of 50/50 and I also know 10/90 would still make a content producer earn a decent income provided they had enough of a following, and a large following would need a larger percentage in order to earn curation fairly. It's all a numbers game.
I'm impressed you can see this now. Even a brand releasing a new product has the same potential.
Communities that provide material to the consumer from a range of writers/producers/creators should be treated like independent magazines. Whoever is running that community should be out recruiting talent and offering deals in the form of guaranteed income on top of the consumer votes that author receives. Authors shouldn't be selling themselves short either. The professional business standpoint would be something like my work draws eyes to your community and those eyes are valuable to your community. I shouldn't give those eyes to you for free.
Are we even allowed to take a professional business stance here though? Probably not now, while this place is in it's infancy/about to fall apart and be destroyed.
Yeah I get your point now and it's visionary. Ideally I would think communities can choose their split/payout and SMT will allow that. Who cares what the weird communities are up to?
I know the gaming community has similar ideals. If you ever played a phone game with soft and hard currency, you would know what I'm talking about.
It's sad it was all sold to Tron, but I think there is possibly enough development already to get out of there.
It will just be a shock to those for the community that don't produce great or sellable content.
The rewards somewhat reflect reality, but yeah long way to go especially if what you mention is ever realized.
I don't think inequality in this semse is a problem. If someone wants to make a living off content, it best be really good. That's likely to take a lot of work. The creative industry is really tough.
Here we have a mix of AI/bot/farm and creative. It needs to separate. They like leeching more than us, but they're still useful tk develop.
