RE: Why are so many “power account” payouts down? And why so drastically?
Same man. Hard to justify putting in hours upon hours for full-time content creation, live shows, giveaways, long-form posts, etc, when it seems no longer correlated to reward level, when bills gotta be paid. Beyond the actual payout, yeah, the massive bot abuse is insulting after pouring tons of effort into a post and seeing it ignored.
Not giving up here, but damn.
I’ll still write my diatribes on whatever social media site, cash or not, but the whole point of this platform is to incentivize that. Was doing pretty damn good for a second there. Time to watch, adapt, and execute in a new way, maybe?
Thanks for your answer. Seems to me to pretty much cover a lot of the main bases.
Yeah, but it has a lot to do with the GUI, as well. Content discovery is hard here. If your post doesn't get a whale vote within the first 30 or so minutes, it's going to get buried. And it seems to happen no matter how many millions of followers you have.
For example, I wouldn't expect massive payouts for my Mega Man posts, seeing as how they're so niche, but it'd be nice to know that they at least reach all the people interested in them. No matter their SP or vote worth.
Something like "suggestions" like on YouTube would be good potentially. If I'm reading a post about voluntaryism, the site could suggest "similar posts" to me on the side, or something.
We could even have a "suggestions" feed, along with our own home feed, that runs on algorithms based on the type of content we consume.
I know algorithms are a dirty word in social media today for people like you and me, but when done properly, they can work. Especially if they're strictly optional.
I use GINAbot to find the content I want like this post. Yes, the platform should make that easy without using the bot, but at least there is an option. The UI needs a lot of work to even be like busy.org let alone a place like fascistbook. We need communities and groups here too, for just using tags (and searching for them using GINAbot) is very limiting.
