RE: Fixing Curation: Community Discussion
I don't see how that would solve the issue of bot voting and circle-jerks. As it stands, there aren't all that many whales that make their money from posting; most of their rewards are generated via bidbots and bot curation. How would skewing rewards more heavily toward curation discourage the sort of detached voting habits we see now?
My thoughts are we aggressively counter the profitability of using big bots and vote selling. No demand = no supply and we put more rewards into the pull for curation to offset that lack of income. Essentially to earn, you have to have top notch content or vote on top notch content. Content is why people go to websites, what we have right now is more of a lottery system where people are competing for scraps instead of competing to make quality content and better posts.
