I agree with most of the points in this post.
However, I have been wondering, how to developers make income from their apps on Steemit? How do devs of DTube, DLive, DMania, DSound, etc make an income for their work, other than making their own posts and being upvoted? If there is another type of income for them, please let me know?
If there was a defined income stream for devs, perhaps they wouldn't resort to Zombee's type of poor behaviour?
Should there be something like 0.5% (or a smaller % even) of rewards from posts using a Steemit app, should go to the developer of that app?
Interested to hear Steemian's thoughts on this.
there is no "rule" or standard really for this.... but in most cases apps have beneficiaries, meaning that when a user makes a post the app's main account is added to the post and receives a portion of the payout.
Some other apps use your upvote as form of payment, meaning that once a day sometimes or more they will trigger your account to upvote one of their posts.
This is to say, there is nothing wrong with a method of making sure devs and platforms built on steem are designed in a way where the team in charge of said product makes a decent living. It should however be transparent and clearly explained to all its users.
Thanks @meno for that explanation, I had been wondering how devs made money from Steemit apps, I actually tried last night to find info on this without success.
Given that 2 methods exist currently, all can disregard my alternative suggestion, given above.
I don't know enough about the dMania system to make an informed suggestion.I like the concept and want it to survive and progress.
I know enough to agree with you that the developers of an idea should be rewarded appropriately but in an agreed and transparent way.
