part of the problem is that 'curation'....isn't.

how is that curation?
Curation projects have tried very, very hard to reward people who are posting great content from various fields and not getting enough rewards. In some content areas, there just aren't many people on Steemit (yet?) who follow certain types of posts. For example, Movies and Gaming are big areas on Reddit and other sites, but there haven't been that many posts yet in either of those areas. If we can reward the good ones that are here, even if the current crowd isn't reading them much, does that help us grow and appeal to the rest of the Internet? I think it does, because we've proven that Spanish, photography, and other areas CAN grow sustainably in the # of posts and quality when people see there are rewards available. Certainly, the whole thing is a huge work in progress, though, and we're learning more every day.
you miss my point...when only one out of a hundred voters actually read the bill that they are voting on...er...I mean post that they are voting on...
they vote on it without even having read it ...like congress
that's NOT curation..that's something else...(skimming the cream? maybe?)
hmmmm...it seems that 'page view' has gone away...odd that.
I noticed also that views were gone. Oh, wait, they're back again now. Yes, your point is fair. A lot of people vote without reading. There have been some suggestions that people should only be able to vote from the post screen and not the list/feed screens. I guess it's a function of curation rewards being worth something to people, which fuels the herd mentality to a degree.
let's be honest...call a spade a spade...ok?
perhaps there should be levels of reward for curation?
the congress level where you can vote on a bill unread
then another level where captcha is required
possibly other levels such as 'write a review"...
each higher and more difficult level would pay MOAH.
That's possible.
I suspected it was. Not easily I'm sure. I suggest that it be given some consideration.
Part of it is curators are lazy and want to automate things. If you automate you can only upvote either from a known list, or follow a real individual who is upvoting.
That's fine. Like I said in my post...call it the Congressional Level of voteing...(they don't read the post before they vote on it)
