RE: Dlive and DSound Contest Idea?
Promoting @dsound and @dlive is a great idea. However the contest idea seems like a lot of work on your side and might have some perverse effects by attracting people who are more interested in "gaming the system"(of the contest) and making off with the booty than in producing quality content.
Because ultimately what we need above all, whether on @dsound, @dlive or @steemit is quality content.
One way to get quality content is to have it currated by humans (not bots).
So here is an alternative idea: you invite people to stream on these sites and look how many humans (not bots) have upvoted a posting (regardless of their SP, so disregard the rewards). And after a set period of counting human voters you have a look yourself at the first three or five (or whatever) and "top up " with a vote from mrdelegation or however has a nice SP those that you find best among the pre-selected.
Possibly less work for you and certainly less distortion introduced by the rules of the contest.
Thanks for giving it a thought.
As a minnow who has produced quite a lot of content for other platforms, I appreciate the idea to count votes and not rewards. If you want to get good content, take a look at how many new people join the platform every day. I think @sorin.cristescu is on to something here. @jerrybanfield, I made another comment later on the thread with ideas of how to do less work and add more value so you don't burn yourself out on this.
Sorin I think you are right about the contest being a lot of work on my side and I will ask for direction on how to promote without making it so much work and by adding more value.
I don't really believe that human votes can suggest or guarantee a quality content as i know if many great writers here who make quality posts but don't get up to 5 votes and 1 dollar pay out.
