Feature Request : Share the Love, Credit Collaborators

in #steemit8 years ago

I think it would be great if there was a way to include the collaborators of a post, and pay them a fixed percentage of the earnings.

There’s always been a bit of confusion for me about using music in my videos, Youtube seems to be ok with it, as long as you aren’t trying to monetize the work, and they do a great job of auto tagging the artist. But here we have the opportunity to directly pay the musician simply by writing their username and a percentage in the post.

It would also open the doors for people to offer charitable posts, with 100% of the earnings going to a good cause, or for researchers to credit their references, or for story thieves to redeem themselves by forwarding the earnings!

I’m sure there are a few complications, and I realise this function is actually currently available simply by making a transfer to another user, (and that we’re still in beta!) but I’d like to hear other’s thoughts.

Totally agree - collaborative contributions means all should share the fruits/steems/monies! Here we have great opportunity to make that happen!

Sounds like a good idea, maybe it could work :)
