Very interesting! So it's how whales can be regular patrons, in other words? That's pretty awesome. I wonder if someone is going to make a Steem-based version of Patreon using a similar system... I guess it's Smooth that I should be thanking. Thanks Smooth! I definitely appreciate the support and I'll be telling my students all about this. :)
I'm not that familiar with Patreon, but you get paid by fans? Isn't this already what is happening here in Steemit though?
Patreon automates the process so that sponsors automatically get charged every time the creator produces content... which is what the bots seem to be doing here.
I'm following steemed's model with some of my extra voting power, which is to identify consistently good writers and have a bot vote by default. In some cases I used steemed's list and in some cases I have my own list. The votes are then reviewed by me prior to payout.
Cool. The crypto/tech world and the artistic world rarely overlap like this so I imagine there must be plenty others like me that are learning this stuff for the first time and probably quite a few that are intimidated by it. It's good to know that there are some guardian angels looking out for us that can explain things like this from time to time :)
