RE: What if steemit users were rewarded according to their 'attention span'? Opening a quantity vs. quality debate.
It is nice to be called young by @everittmickey, surfermarly ;) However I do read every post I vote on, it feels too much like cheating to do otherwise. It stands to reason that many of the millennials have no problem with this, they were typing in cheat codes for games before they could read actual words. (I've seen this in action)
I think it has to be a healthy mix. Right now you can handle anything manually. And yes I also read EVERY article I vote for, and I comment a lot of them, too. I just think it´s a form of respect paid back to the author.
But if steemit grew it could get quite complicated to not rely on some 'safe rewards' earned by bots or trails. I am not anti-automation, but love the idea of a 'bonus system' for hard-working users :)
yup...they use the word 'curation' then do something else entirely.
Note: I have no problem with them doing that, just call a spade a spade...
If they are going to distill, process, and mine the blockstream then say so...don't pretend otherwise.
Your answer led me to another point of view (thanks for that :-)):
I think our problems are still the problems of a small network. If we had considerably more active users (I don´t talk about these 115K - 80% of them are offline), these dicussions wouldn´t exist. Right now there is not much cake to be given, and the cake we have is distributed amoung a few people. Until we don´t have a representative number of participants here, nothing will ever change I guess.
