RE: My Thoughts on Steem-UA (And Why I'm Not Delegating)
Putting in simple terms: what steem-ua does is to check "who is following you".
- If good people follow you then your UA-score increases.
- If an average person follows you your score also increases but little.
- If a good guy follows few people and you are one of them your score increases. If this guy follows a lot of people, then his contribution to your score is low.
Your score =
(score_follower1/number_follows1) +
(score_follower2/number_follows2) +
(score_follower3/number_follows3) + ...
See, the issue here is that it's not really curating, like @trufflepig, but rather just paying popular people. The equation's not fully released, and without more info it's hard to know for a fact whether or not it's working right, and the lack of transparency into the system (only the top 100 plus your own account doesn't show that much info, all things considered) means that you'd never know if the system's really working at all.
