RE: User Authority - A Better Reputation System With Interesting Applications

in #steemdev6 years ago (edited)

These means that the trending page and hot page will determine with a number of organic search query and backlink that point the article. Therefore, SEO and keyword rich article is a must. In my opinion, that would be great.

Sort:  

Because UA is a probability distribution which sums up to 1 (or 100%) purely based on account relationships, it's a zero-sum game: if one account increases its UA, another one will have it's UA scored decreased slightly. Following accounts is entirely democratic and dynamic rather than static: every follow and unfollow broadcasted on the blockchain (currently ~ 150 million) changes UA scores for all accounts.

UA doesn't have to dig into content itself. UA looks at the influence / reputation of the author and voters of content, instead of trying to analyze the content itself.

not quite. Google is based on that. Steem would be based on UA which is not determined by backlinks but by follows.
