RE: We Are Giving Away All Of The Earnings From Our Dtube Announcment Post To The Winners Of Witness @Block-Buster's First contest!!!!

in #dtube7 years ago

One problem is that a large number of submissions will make it impossible for any meaningful number of community members to see many, and the vast majority of votes will be votes that just aren't sufficiently informed. Anyone with enough followers who will listen to them, can possibly just take the prize. Yeah yeah, i'm annoying AF, i get it, but in the heat of the moments, is exactly when empires most need their socraTEASEs. This is not some profound observation. Just a statement of the fact that the best post is not only unlikely to win, but is unlikely to even be seen. Unless it's really great, and the right person clicks on it amongst what could be many many entries. What if someone pays 1,000 minnows 10 cents each to vote on it?

Lol sorry. It's a Good thing to do, making this DemoCratic, and not directly associated with the weight of votes. It'll still be a popularity contest though, at least that's most likely, and by that i mean a contest of the popularity of the content creator, not the content.

Working on contest ideas myself, so this helps.

Good luck on the witness Block-Buster!

You made some very valid points and will definitely consider them. But it will not be the number of votes on the individual post submission. Each video will be posted in a new post and viewers of that post will be able to vote on the video they like most. Having more followers does help but I will keep this into consideration for future contests!!!!

Thanks for the quick reply. Everyone is still trying to figure everything out. If you ever want any help looking over policies in the future, let me know. I'm not incredibly deep in steem specific knowledge yet, but i'm good at finding problems with just about anything. Just voted for your witness with bitcoinparadise as one of only 3 witnesses so far.
