RE: Feature Suggestion: Revenue splitting from Curation Rewards

[nextgen622]

I rreally like the idea of a tab for most views. Maybe trending could be based on most views rather than payout? Even better, what if author rewards was partly due to views as well as votes?

There are a few problems with that that others have identified

1. Views are not a blockchain level feature, they are specific to Steemit.com, and so not even available to busy.org; this means that it would not be possible to include this in the reward calculation as this happens on the blockchain, which is not aware of views
2. It was raised somewhere by someone (can't remember!) that views are more susceptible to manipulation than voting because they do not cost anything and it would be trivial to spin up a page viewer bot, there is no human check wall on Steemit, for either logged in or random users.

Views are really a problematic metric and to be honest I'd quite nearly side with the idea of removing it entirely.

Well put @personz I agree.
