RE: Change Curation Reward System On Steem Blockchain / DISCUSSION
To be honest, and as a newbie, it took me some time to understand all the curation system and how it works. So, at first, making it a bit more simple will make people engage from the very first moment. There are so many things that are pretty new and hard to understand when you start here in Steemit, I think curation shouldn't be one of them.
Besides from that, I think that removing the higher rewards for early birds is fair. At first, you get somehow an idea of the reward you're going to get by curating a post and then, it encourages you to vote the post anyways (if you think the post deserves it) even if it already has lots of votes.
There's also another thing, for those of us who are in different timezones (far from Asia and Europe), sometimes it's impossible to catch good, interesting posts as an early bird. They're all posted in times in which we're sleeping, so it reduces our chances of voting for them. By being equal in the curation rewards, this wouldn't be a problem at all and that's somehow a bit more fair!
Thank you for letting us talk about it! :)
It should be very simple, but sadly it just isn't. When you need 200 pages of tutorials how a social media platform works, something is wrong imo. We do not only need the geeks and the people that instantly get all these complex matters. If we want to become the biggest, simplicity is key. I am not changing that statement :D
You are absolutely right. Both authors and curators miss out on tons of income due to this system. We have a model that rewards bots. Human interaction is almost gone, do we reaaallly want that?
Thanks for joining the discussion. Happy to hear that you are happy to speak up. This is why we do it
