Is Tipping The Key To Better Content?
Content on here has the chance of earning in upvotes within a 7 day window. After that period of time, most content is basically forgotten.
In this video, I talk about why tipping can raise the quality of the content on here. Long tail, high quality content such as travel blogs, restaurant reviews and DIY videos, stand to benefit from tipping.

I agree that tipping might help people want to create more content. I would be willing to put up more tutorials for video games and encourage people to come over to this channel if tipping was more easily accessible from the post window perhaps?
@whatsup @steemitqa @ackza what do you all think?
Tipping is a great idea. It would be great to have it!
I think tipping is big! yes, we need it.
I don't mind if they ad tipping there are many projects with tipping, it would be interesting to review them.
It's going to take a while to change our behaviour. We've grown up in the upvote paradigm over here. Mindset shift needed for that I think
Yeah, that's a good point
The beauty of tipping is you can tip any post, no matter how old. That way, there's no 7-day window rush, so your 2 year old tutorial can get a tip today if someone finds it useful.
This is a very innovative idea. Maybe smart tokens can be used for a tipping system? I'm not sure. Your token can be created on steem-engine.com. Then you could add funds to your coin to add value to it. People would buy it and sell it. Whenever you felt like a person deserves a tip, you could send it to them via transfer. Not by upvoting. That way you could give a tip no matter how old the post was. Why don't you try making your own smart token? You could implement your idea this way...
Tipping is a great idea and overcomes the annoying 7 day limit on voting for rewards. Okay, so it costs us something, but we could do with more distribution of tokens. Peakd has implemented it on Hive, but I wonder if Steem will get it. Doesn't look like much development is going on.
