RE: Day / Night Cycle on Steemit
That's interesting, I love ideas like this. I'm not sure I'd necessarily vote for the change, but really interesting to think about.
A tradeoff is that it would cut into the votes and comments that happen otherwise. People would to some extent learn to stagger their activity, rather than necessarily have a bigger appetite for it.
It doesn't have to be implemented by Steemit Inc. It could be an app feature. Maybe we'll get a good portion of people to play by this rule.
I think 'playing by the rule' would ultimately be what it comes down to. If it's an app feature, people would just go back to Steemit Inc when they want to post during those hours. So it would need to be like a general understanding that this isn't really expected and it's less likely to be rewarded.
And then new people can still post unwittingly and not be like "wtf is this sh#t??", it'd just be like awh noobie posting in the night, and they'd have to learn that they're making a faux pas.
It's definitely a terrible idea for the decentralization of activities :P But i just like typing up stuff like this and see what people think of it lol. Putting limits is definitely not such a good idea :)
Ya, I didn't want to be a Debbie Downer to your idea, but I was thinking the same thing regarding limits :p In general I'm never really a fan of limits, there will be some unintended consequence.
Like I said though, fun to think about.
