RE: Ideas for Future Rule Changes - Voting, Earnings, Maximum Social Benefits - a Discussion Document
Thanks for the post. Pretty technical for my taste, it felt like reading another language. But the little my small mind could grasp agrees with your proposal of a diminishing return (is that even the right term? lol) on repeated votes for one account. Sounds like a good idea to me. Reducing the voting power from 2% to 1% also sounds good to me. 100 votes worth nothing are worthless with either 2% or 1%. I rather have more interaction.
But the biggest hurdle is the UI: Even though I love the clean look of Steemit, it is rediculously simple for such a complex website. I mean at the moment posts get lost in the clutter after a few hours and are practicaly worthlesss then. That is a huge bummer and the biggest demotivatinal factor.
I am a professional content creator for ten years now. When I write a tutorial I write it to last. Maybe for years or even decades. Steemit doesn't support this thinking at all. On the contrary: For the first time in my life I ask myself how can I create an article with the least possible effort. Just because the system pressures me to do so.
Thanks. In this ecosystem, these ideas need more exposure with resteems and to convince enough witnesses to support any changes in algorithms.
Your other point is true - my articles have been getting shorter - one idea, a bit of humour and maybe a follow up link.
I use chainBB forum for nearly all my comments and voting - https://beta.chainbb.com/
It promotes comments rather than earnings. Have a look.
I already use. But recently I got the slider on here and since then use it less.
what about you make the post partially available after the payout and you have to pay whit an upvote to read the complete content of the post. even a sticky section on the profile would be awesome.Just thinking out loud but you get the idea.
