I'd definitely recommend that people do use an alt for Zappl. Right now, the feed is based on users that we follow and their resteems. That means an author that wants to post across multiple niches will annoy a good number of their readers. Once the UI gets better ways to filter then the rationale for using alts to manage different content / content-types will diminish.
Love the angle @stellabelle, give it time, at the moment the rep on the accounts posting are too high to be 'new' account, however if the average reputation of authors drops this would be a good indicators that new accounts are being generate for zappl. it will be interesting to see who is setting up these accounts and funding them. Hoping that the vast majority will be genuine new users.
Zappl would also be able to do some tracking on this via their website stats and tracking of IP addresses. I would be happy to work with them on this data.
Most definitely using an alt account for Zappl, at the very least until there is an option on the blockchain along the lines of do_not_show_on_steemit or apps can keep their posts within their own silo, as should happen with SMTs.
The temptation to zapp is big and I don't want to cause additional noise to an otherwise mostly longform reading audience/crowd. The inconvenience of that is of course that autovoters get lost, but let's keep the pool healthy and work again to earn rewards rather than benefitting the autopilot now.
yup, wanted to write a lot of short 1 liners but didn't want to exploit old curation trail
admittedly i give myself a 20-30% upvote to support short content on the platform and make it worth my while
:(
@stellabelle yes, they are making alternate accounts to Zappl with. To sort of separate their main SteemIt user accounts w/ an alternative.
ohh this is rather interesting
