RE: [Announcement] Jumpstarting New Tags, Rewarding Comments, Boosting Engagement and Going Viral!

I made a proposal to establish a channel for posting links already 2 months ago and so I´m more than happy to see that Curie now is taking action in such a direction. I believe this is an important move to attract users beyond the blogosphere.
I hope that you can tune rewards in a way so that short content and links will not outcompete longer and/or work-intensive primary content posts. For links (plus one or two sentences to give it a personal touch) anything in the range of 1-2 $ would already be awesome and potentially a game changer.
Thanks for this initiative - very promising!

Thank you @shaka! Very insightful input!

You´re very welcome!
I would also like to note that one should consider that content creators on yt, fb or elsewhere may see it critical if someone is making money on Steemit by posting a link to their work (a big problem in which the Yours.network will run into imo, whenever they roll out). This prompted me to propose an alternative payout scheme in my above mentioned post which I allow myself to cite here:

I propose to establish a special section for link-posts where a different payout scheme is automatically applied. Let´s say 10% go to the poster to reward his curation efforts. The remaining 90% are payed into a pool account from which the original content creator can claim his reward after signing-up. Ideally, a post in that section triggers a notification bot that reaches out to the original content provider, e.g. via youtube, facebook etc.

The beauty of such an approach might be that it would not only attract more reddit-type of users but also more content creators who will register to claim their cut (verification could occur via their respective yt, fb, instagram accounts).

If you find any of this useful, feel free to implement or adapt as you wish!
