RE: Reward Curve Deep Dive
a limit for account curation would end up in creators self-regulating their posts; If I create 1 post on politics, another on TV, and a third on fitness on a normal basis (I don't ;>), then I would feel it would be a waste of time to add that content to the platform all on the same day
Not really, it will make you curate other individuals spreading the wealth. That’s the number 1 complaint of steem... people just vote the same people all the time or just bidbots while they sell off steem everyday.
Or we can just keep it the same and nothing gets solved
This is actually anticuration, as the content organically preferred would not be curatable any longer by accounts with preferences. It would increase distribution, but not based on subjective judgment of quality. Manipulations of curation rewards inevitably fail to promote curation, but always create incentive to curate for financial return, and ignore content quality.
There are other options, and not only keeping things the same. I propose some below in reply to the OP.
I don't have enough SP to make my curation matter. I've made my SP from creation. Throttling those that would curate me only prevents me from accruing more SP.
We all make sp from creating, don’t we? Wonder why your not getting more upvotes from others right now.
Maybe it’s because most people are not going to curate you anyway with how it is.
Wouldn’t you like new people start upvoting you? That won’t happen as no one is curating at all now unless there circle jerkin each other or just selling to bots.
I guess people are happy with there Penny votes from the same people. Too each his own.
I think there are three ways to make SP
So I am doing all three modes now...but...I'll be the first to admit I write in areas that most people aren't interested, and conversely, I'm not interested in most of what interests other people. I won't complain about that, because that is what is ;>
So the proposal to throttle curation to 1 vote per account /day affects more more than it would the general population.
Also, I have an aversion to mechanics that limit SP holders from using their SP as they see fit in general...I've never even complained about some of the whaleflagging I've seen here.
And lastly, Some of that investment-curation is done by people passievely. They don't want to put in the time investment of curation, but then they (some of them; got some HODLERS too) have no reason to value holding STEEM.
Makes no sense, yeah... the investors are selling tens of thousands of steem daily anyways, no users are using steem because there not getting upvotes because the “investors” sell there votes.
People need to know what’s “really” going behind the scenes but 99% don’t care.
Ok just keep it the same, nothing will change and make that $1 a post a day from the minnows. 😂
No, we don't. None of the whales do, and neither do many lesser accounts. Most of them make SP from bidbots. That's the reality today.
Can I just note that those are two different things.
people who earn rewards through the existing algorithms without social content
and
people who keep selling their steem.
I've seen bloggers receive good earnings also selling such rewards rather than powering up.
Is there some other, more fundamental reason, why neither of the above examples is compounding their rewards?
Give a reason to power up? IT's hard to find a good reason when the content discovery is broken and the incentives for becoming a whale are being diminished on the other side.
