RE: Proposal: reduce Hive inflation by reducing curation rewards

in Hive Improvement4 years ago (edited)

What you're saying is true, but I'm not sure it would be such a bad thing, from a quality curation perspective. Manual voters would identify the good posts, then auto-vote bots would just be magnifying the rewards to the authors of those posts. It does allow the bots to benefit from the work of the manual curators to some extent, but I think it would be better than the situation now.

Effectively, it would be allowing bots to do vote trailing based on more than one manual curator.

Sort:  

"Human Curator Amplification" bot - well that's my excuse. It'd be interesting to model what the plays would be. I'm guessing an amplification of the echo effects from the current favourite-author based autovoters until they become a smaller part of the puzzle - basically when manual curation has a larger effect. Then whales + cartels upvoting shitposts as bot magnets. At least there'd be fewer shitposts that get massive upvotes so easier to target for downvoting.

Note that the "good" bots could also just discount votes by abusive voters.

I think there would be more incentive to join manual curation project trails without the curve and it is easier for anyone to find a good trail than 10 or more content creators to always vote for them.

Definitely. There is 0 financial incentive to join a trail 100 accounts long with many votes larger than yours in front.
