RE: Let's Talk About Our Curation Problem
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It is a fact that in this community there are many spoiled, as well as preferred by the whales. I have seen them, publish in only one language and don't even answer the comments, they don't interact in the community as such, and within less than an hour of their publication, they already have 30$ made easily.
The truth is that I do not know if I fell into that group you are talking about but since some time ago I have also noticed many changes in here.
Now, my question in this situation is, wouldn't it be better to make a purge of these users? Once done, if they decide to return because they are passionate about writing here, they are required to collaborate through a delegation of Hive Power or become part of the trail.
Or I don't know, you could also modify the rules so that people here post once a week like is done on Vibes.
Maybe my suggestion is more radical, but if you want to tighten the pants to stop the abuse of certain users, it seems to me that it is quite reasonable.
Before I finish, I want to emphasize that I am only giving my opinion, if that is what the post was made for, of course. Greetings! 💕
You don't. You even have a lot of votes throughout the week: 267 votes and 4.43 HP in curation rewards over the past 30 days. Given your account size and historical author rewards, it's not bad at all. Naturally author rewards tend to be higher than curation rewards, but it's when there's a massive difference that is bothering me.
That doesn't sound right to me. I don't think we're in a position to be trying to punish those people in a way that stops them from posting here. That'd be stretching a bit too far with the power I have. I don't want to be doing that. I do want the space to be open to all. And to try to profit from it (even if it does lead to benefiting the community account and improving our curation power) doesn't really solve the problem. Especially if it means the curation remains centralised just on my end. I think the best course of action at the moment is just to not vote them with the community account, and instead tell them their current behaviour isn't really welcome.
Good for them for somehow getting that support, whether it's deserved or not is another question entirely as that side of things is subjective. But yeah, some people here are making insane amounts and as you said, just not even bothering to comment, reply, or vote on others. It does bother me when I see someone has made 25k Hive over their duration of time here on Hive, but they've only curated others for an amount of less than 100. That just speaks of people most of the time posting and leaving immediately after.
I don't think people should be forced to hold their rewards, but I do think the people making those significantly larger amounts than others should at least be voting on other people's posts. If they were making 30 - 50 dollars per post AND voting on other people's posts, this post wouldn't exist. And having seen this pattern unfold for too long, I just think it's time to start talking about it publicly. If we all continue down this path, then Hive dies as we rely on whales to curate select few, while everyone else gets nothing and then leaves the platform.
You are right. And I admit it, my suggestion was quite extreme lol but according to what you say, besides making it public I think they should then modify the group rules. Let's see if they take them more into account over there, besides asking for only one post a week like they do on Vibes.
It is not to compare both communities, I say it is because they also have a lot of traffic of users who interact and had to take that measure to prevent them from monopolizing the rewards. It's just a matter of taking the example or failing that, talking to someone from another community to see what they could suggest as a solution, who knows how to do it from your same point of view and authority.
I am just one of the many users here in Hive where one of my favorite communities is this one, anyway, I hope my words have been supportive, whatever decision you make, I will be aware of it. Thanks for sharing this news. 💕
