RE: Hard Fork 21: A Case For the 50/50 Curation Reward Model
Hi @gandhibaba, the big boss man @crypto.piotr sent me a memo about this post and here is my 2 cents thoughts about the whole thing.
I for one have read so many post for and against the HF21 and what I can say is that so many things and outcome are based on the assumption that people will behave this way or that way.
What I have seen in my many years on planet earth is that humans are unpredictable.
Some of the assumptions of the HF21 is based on the fact that people will behave in a certain manner or way. Has there been any statistics done on the what if's?
A lot of content creators earn their livelihood on Steem, what if they leave Steem because they view this as a way of reducing their earnings from 75% to 50%.
Have we looked at most of the post of content creators and what they earn without promoting their post? Many earn less than $1. What if they decide not to promote their post? How is their earning going to go up?
What if content creators decide to burst content creation and just place the SP for sell?
The more I look at this the more it is telling me we are assuming a lot and taking things for granted.
I am a content creator, I make one or two post daily, I am not going anywhere but my actions going forward will be based on the reactions of the majority.
If you say bid bot is our problem then put a cap on it. I believe if you're traveling internationally I believe there is a max cash you can carry, why can't we do that for bid bot?
If self vote is the issue why can't a cap be placed on it say once a day?
I've tried hard to understand the point of HF21, I've really tried and that is why I keep reading post for and against it.
All i can say at the end is that HF21 is based on assumptions that humans will behave in a certain way. If the assumptions end up becoming correct, that is what we have to wait for and see. All I know is that human beings are unpredictable and you can take that to the bank.
Hi @ketcom. It's me one more time.
That's a lot. Why so much?
I also wanted to make some suggestion.
My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc.
then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also
upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.Please let me know what do you think.
Yours,
Piotr
Dear @ketcom
I must admit that your comment put a huge smile on my face. Especially when you called me "the big boss man" hahaha :) Love it!
Thanks for sharing your own 2 cents with us on this particular subject.
our assumption should always be that people will look for ways to abuse each system, to gain short term benefits.
Unfortunatelly it's not the case now. HF21 is showing some vision. Vision that could be perfect but this vision completely seem to ignore the fact, that it's opening enormous doors for financial abuses.
the worst of all is the fact, that those who actually bring value to Steemit platform by commenting and encouraging authors - they are basically abandoned.
I'm replying to huge amount of comments daily and as an author of those comments I get hardly anything. And all those rewards it will be reduced even more.
We're on the same page. I've also read some people saying how HF21 will stop bidbot and self-upvote abuse. How it will encourage quality curating. But I see all of it as a "wishes" and at the same time growing threats seem to be very real.
Yours
Piotr
