RE: Steemit Alternative Trending Page - Curation The Fair Way
So my idea that I had shortly after I first joined steemit was a Curation Feed. I quickly realised that I didn't want to RESTEEM very much, because I wanted to keep my blog fairly succinct and easily scrollable (I have since relaxed this idea a bit, but the effect still remains). Also, I upvote certain things that I wouldn't necessarily Curate, so I don't think this page should be anything to do with upvotes, I have long conversations with people, but I think we can all agree that quantity of comments doesn't necessarily denote worthy content, and it CERTAINLY shouldn't be related to how much MONEY is being earned. Importantly, I also follow people who only produce content that I want to see a fraction of the time, so my feed does not feel AS high quality as I would hope.....but I dont want to miss the good stuff right? So Im not going to start unfollowing people.....
I feel that a new CURATE button should be added. Some people have created Bots which celebrate peoples posts in the comments and others hand out BADGES of quality for works that they think are top quality - but this feature should be built in to the system. We should be able to put a Badge of honour on works that we deem in our highest interest which would post this to our PERSONAL curation feed. Thats the first step, but as we all know, not everyone has the time to go searching DeepSteemit for nuggets of glory, and so we should be able to SET OTHER USERS as our own personal Curators. People who's taste matches our own would then become our EXPLORATION TEAM perhaps. And the posts that recieve their badges of honour would be inserted in to our own curation feed. People could Earn for being popular curator and build up a reputation as great Steemit Explorers. No-one would be putting their badges of honour on ANY POST that was ANYTHING LESS than awesome.
You should try to do a breakdown of the implementation of such a system my friend. It sounds interesting.
This is a clever idea! I love The Who thing. This is a bit less complex but Similar to how you follow someone, you could follow a “curator” who resteems the content they see as exceptional. I think you should get the breakdown of this typed up as well, you’re on to something.
thanks, I'll do that. Im not very in tune with the dev side of steemit, so I wouldn't really know who to show it to, but I could certainly make a post about it
