RE: How DTube Could Use Voting Bots to Refocus Emphasis on Views and Scale Creator Monetization

in #utopian-io7 years ago

I read this post because my bot found it and upvoted it. It's an interesting idea for sure.

My main philosophy of voting bots is that you get exactly what you pay for. In this case, you'd get the minimum action that could be possibly classified as a view. My guess is that there would be rampant fake viewing, whatever that means. It's remarkable on this platform how quickly people scramble for ways to exploit various incentive mechanisms.

Truth. I know there's definitely some degree of fake views on YouTube as well, but they seem to have found a way to combat this for the most part, so we'd have to do the same. And the 7 Day payout window might allow for adequate review time, and if we find lots of fake views, then payout for those gets revoked.
