i hope you will look more into curation system , for example: pay more curation reward % if person upvote new account whom he didnt upvote for last 2 weeks , and pay less curation reward for same person upvotes (so people will not upvote only friends and as example: if blocktrades upvote same person 10 times in month he start with 50% and goes to 0% for curation reward because he upvotes same person) . Also about visibility of posts : its better to have more than 1 algorithm to be able to come to trending (right now its who got more money goes there) may be something like reputation,comments, amount of upvotes and so on .
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There would have to be some sort of time constraint to the diminishing returns. Otherwise won't we be discouraging people from voting on their favorite authors? What if an author only posts infrequently? Should someone be penalized for always reading and voting on a poster who posts once every month or two? Or should this be more focused on high volume content creators?
Yes, of course!
This is similar to the idea of 'diminishing returns' to make it less attractive to upvote the same authors (including oneself) again and again. I summarized it like that:
"How about if after each vote on a specific account (including ones own account) each further vote on the same account would lead to significantly less curation reward for the voter and less profit for the upvoted account? Thus, when upvoting an account which I had already upvoted before, my voting power would be smaller than in case I upvote an account which I didn't upvote before."
It should also apply for downvotes to make it less attractive to downvote the same person again and again (the idea of downvotes is not to lead personal battles).
The "curation donation" window actually already has this effect. It is not as profitable to vote early on an established author because there are so many front running votes which donate part of the curation rewards to the author. Unfortunately 30 minutes is not long enough to have made a meaningful impact. It should be longer instead of shorter if we want the type of curation that retains new users on the platform.
