That is a very interesting idea, and indeed we might implement it on https://steem-ua.com/ , to be run "as a service" for regular non-dev users.
However, I'm not a fan of referral links embedded in high-volume comments.
Also running such a "Forevergreen Upvote Service" costs server capacity, ergo we need to monetize it in case we deploy it. One option to do that, would be to auto-set @steem-ua as a 25% beneficiary by default, and add a dropdown list with other percentages (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% to steem-ua).
Just thoughts at this point, thanks for thinking out loud with your suggestion, regardless if we actually use it or not!
if folks have a choice to give @steem-ua a tip I say why not...but universal tips should be 15% and that's for great personal service....I think that if you will add this to steem-ua, default should be set it to 5% (with options for 5,10,15,20,25% would be ethical),
note: you should always match bounty's best 5% (business sense anyways, and last I heard bounty has already dropped their high end to 15%), the key is being reasonable...and please for decency do avoid 50-75-100%...what's the point of giving 100% ( :P ) to a 3rd party and 0% to the Content Creator... the point is to reward an Author with ForeverGreenNess so Steem FTW!
Thanks for replying @scipio....awesome to see you representing steem-ua and showing examplary stewardship on Steem, this is why you guys deserve the delegation from all of us!
The beneficiary percentages are just examples, don't take things too literally as in "25% is too much"! ;-) It could be 1% by default, or even 0% by default.
The numbers don't matter right now, just brainstorming ideas here...
Ha! got it buddy :D
i got gun shy...go see above the incredible ignorance of business and economic sense portrayed by some Steem business owner.....you're making sense!
