RE: Octobo - Storytelling meets Creative Technology
"'influencers' which upvotes their friends." this is not true.
- we chose all the influencers from different countries.
- influencers still get affected by their diversity score. so if their original voting weight is only 0.1, x5 is still only 0.5.. means if they keep upvoting on their friends pool, their voting weight will become trivial at the end anyway (the same way you and your friends: lordoftruth, georgemales, calprut getting low voting weight as you guys have such voting history)
Don't spread false information on the platform.
If you have any better idea, please let us know. We're always happy to listen.
Let's assume you are right. Influencers doesn't upvote their friends. What about the subjectivity about the 'coolness'.
Influencers upvoted the content and not the product. (If they upvoted the product is so strange as those products has no use, like this one.)
Why a single ''uncool" post (in my opinion) is upvoted by more than 1 influencer?
And of course I am upvoting my friends when I see a lot of shitty groups from Nigeria and Koreea taking the first places all time. Of course I am upvoting my friend @lordoftruth when he was wronged a lot of times and you did nothing.
Now besides we have those groups we have another group called 'influencers'. If someone thing a toy is a cool product for steemhunt the others come and upvote it. nice.
I don't know why I care so much about this, I am not even posting but maybe I like the idea of the project.
I still like it?
I have no suggestion but to eliminate subjectivity from the system...that's my biggest problem
Influencers upvoted the content and not the product.
-> wrong again.
Influencers upvote on cool products, not well written content. They all understand Steemhunt is a curation project, not a writing service.
You may not think this product is cool. That's fine because "coolness" is a subjective term anyway.
If you complain about "this product took the top ranking because they've done circle jerking between their friends", that's a good point, and we'll have to find a solution. However, if you're just complaining because this top product is not your taste, we have nothing to do about that.
I complain that the first product took the top because of the mods, influencers and subjectivity. Anyway. Thanks for your time,
I will be silent, I am not gonna hunt products to be judged by others subjectivity.
I know giving more powers to influencers could be considered "unfair" for other community members, but I think it is the most effective solution so far (You know the ranking board was like circle jerking contest few days ago, and it's not way better IMHO).
Those mod / influencer systems can be changed any time when we find a better solution.
I don't consider it unfair. I consider unfair if they use wrong they power..Yes you will find better solutions once you will detect new problems..
