RE: A reward system based on views like youtube could be possible on steem...I think..
I agree actually it's not really a good metric to gauge quality, but it's still better than circle jerk autovote so that tells a lot about the current system.
Views however are good to gauge attention which is what makes a site valuable.
So you're thinking people will stop following their friends and viewing their posts just because the platform changed?
I would agree to a BONUS for views. I do see a lot of people earn a lot while their views are quite low.
For instance. You have 20 views now and nearly $40 for this short little post with your opinion. I have 60 views and just over $10 for something that includes a new work of art and 6 other works of art that I produced along with creative writing. All of that took well over 24 hours to produce.
Maybe this post of yours could be penalized and the money could come to mine? I think that would be fair.
Or maybe try and post it on facebook see how much you earn...
I think you should stop comparing your earnings with others. In a stake weight based system, that's the best way to go crazy
Don't get smart with me. I'm simply pointing out the flaws in this logic using real world scenarios.
I'm not comparing, I'm just showing you what's happening.
According to your logic, you should be earning less here, so don't start telling me to leave. I've been here a long time. I've been through it all. Highs and lows. I've been grateful for everything and there's proof of that all over my blog.
Don't come at me like that. There's no point to it.
Your example shows that rewarding users based on view would be fairer, which is my point. What flaws are you refering to?
You weren't impressed the moment I said I should get more. You lashed out. Therefore, it's quite possible, changing something won't be the solution to these problems.
Real world scenario:
People on Youtube don't like it when others earn more than they do. They work hard too, and others earn more.
People on the job. Same thing. People quit their jobs because someone else got a raise. Know what I mean? Plenty of jealousy in the workforce.
Changing things won't take this problem away. It's actually not a problem. It's normal for people to feel like they deserve more than others. That's life.
No matter what systems are in place, we will still see people thinking it's unfair.
Catering to those people rather than the hard workers who don't mind starting at the bottom and working their way up is always a step in the wrong direction.
I think you are reading a little too deep into this. I'm just proposing an alternative voting model. There will be many of these in the future simply because the one we have today is far from optimal.
That's where you lost me...
I have experience being in charge of staff. A large staff. Many people from all walks of life.
If you cater to those who consistently find things to be unfair, all you're left with are people who will consistently find things to be unfair. It doesn't matter what you change, they're just wired to see things as unfair. That's who they are. That's what they'll be. They're dependent on others to take care of their needs.
It's typically better for business when you embrace those who can start at the bottom, take anything life throws their way, climb the ladder, and become good at what they do. Those are strong individuals and they are good to have around. If they see a challenge, they won't back down. If they see a problem, they'll want to help fix it, rather than leaving it up to someone else.
That's all I meant by that.
I don't disagree. But I don't understand why you assume that rewarding users based on views would change this dynamic. Hard work will still be recognized and people will still have to climb the ladder.
Also worth noting that my suggestion is not a modification to the steem code base, it's just an interface change.
Unfairness is not the only issue with current voting model, content discovery/curation is also a big one.
