RE: More Steemit Competition (Provoco And Second Look At Sola)
Yeah I don't know. To me it seems like the tokens can only be used to reward other people. If you like someone's post then you can upvote it, but by doing so you basically send them some of your SOL tokens. I think the Steemit system is so much better, but we will see how Sola plays out.
If there is no advantage to have more SOL or AP in your wallet for more visibility then yeah there is no real point. It is just like tipping someone with extra work involved. It won't utimately work if that is the case. Someone was saying that if you have more AP or SOL then your cards get shown more the way the algorithm is. I don't know if that has gone into effect yet though. That would make more sense and then I get the feeling that by giving more AP to people makes you more visible in their view so that they are more likely to go over to your cards and give AP to them. Honestly I was kind of even doing that with Papa Pepper's cards to say Hi!
Any sort of low friction way for audiences to tip content creators makes sense. That is the use case right there. It's still preferable to having intermediaries like, say, twitch take such a huge chunk to run the service.
