Yeah I agree it's easy to game, however it isn't much different than Reddit's system, right? Maybe something else with comments (spam filtered) as a signal on top. I assume that it would be a much better indicator than what we have now and we might have something interesting to see from it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It would be the same as Reddit's system, with one major exception. The money incentive. That changes people's behavior and gives us different results. Rather than vote for stuff people are in favor in, they vote for what is profitable. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't.
Secondly, I originally designed the algorithms I built to build better Reddit feeds since Reddit feeds are often polluted with ideological shills. Though since Reddit is better at organizing stuff than Steemit, bringing Reddit-like filters to Steemit wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Ah yes, that is a good point about improving reddit's filters as well :).
That being said, I was simply wondering what the trending/hot would look like today with these filters (in the state where everyone is gaming the vote-weight version of the filters).
If it ever gets adjusted the other way, I'm sure you'll see a shift in the feed to game the new system.
