RE: A closer look at the idea for increasing curation from KevinWong and Traf // my thoughts
A lot of post about this, nearly all the post are ignoring the other wishlist aspects, like a separate pool for downvotes. I am glad that there are more and more blockchain developers out there and people, (Content Creators) will not have a difficult time finding somewhere else to post. Already there have been a lot of people preparing their just incase locations such as weku, whaleshares and and other places such as trybe.
@ned has another project as he mentioned in a post, and that "Destiny is, and will be, a team effort." his new project it does have a name. which everyone will be invited to join.
So yes there is a retention issue, and I doubt that even with all the steemitblogs about SMT's that that will be out on time or in any working order, and if it is will it be applied to steemit, or to Destiny?
The elephant in the room is the 50/50 distraction.
I consider this change a huge waste of time honestly from a "change" point of view, but for discussion i think its important. Curators and curator whales rarely, if ever, hear the creator point of view so they assume that they will not be challenged by those who "depend on them".. They forget that its a mutual dependency when they start chasing higher ROI for themselves.
Without curators there would be content, but without creators, the curators have no ROI.
Writing and making videos for free is nothing new. (this ofc is an oversimplification of the issue which is why the long post.)
I'm wondering if it was for the drama effect, or a let me throw these against a wall and see what sticks. People seem to be concentrating on the 50/50 part, very little talk of the downvote reward pool and separating it out of vote power. The whole post seemed like everything in it was to get people to stop posting. When you look at it as a whole.
