How about not clogging up the chain for no reason and losing out most voting power to the .001 threshold. Just follow a few curation trails or stakeholders you like what they upvote on hive.vote or something.

Clogging up the chain for no reason? Arguably that could be said about most the shit that gets posted or action'd here on HIVE. lmao. If we pull up the metrics of daily actions on chain even with me voting most top level posts > 100 characters it's still a fraction of a percentage of operations compared to the custom_json action for example.
I'm not doing it for the "profit" or the "lulz" honestly.. I'm doing it to give folks that would otherwise have zero votes on their stuff because they are noobs their first votes and to increase my follower reach, while collecting metrics.
Right now my voting power seems to be holding up, as does the RC.. which is impressive in itself, albeit on heavier post days it does start to creep a bit downwards. Inconsequential though, never really done the curation trial stuff, nor did it seem worth it when I briefly tried it, but each to their own.. I'll try and dial this thing in to see if I can get it to not upvote shitposter self comments. That was a good catch on your end. Thanks captain.
So just cause others do it it's fine? Clogging may not have been the right word, maybe bloating which as a witness I figured you'd understand why it's unnecessary, especially if the main reason is to give people valueless votes to maybe get some followers in return.
I see other bigger stakeholders do this as well so it's not like I'm singling you out. Even if those manage to give many people a few cents it's not really treating it as curation or bringing value to it by just showering everyone with votes. It's just a bit dumb tbh, altho in those instances it seems like they're just trying to risk manage stuff getting downvoted so they spread it out as far as wide to keep their high APR I just noticed they have that way. Yours is at 1.66% compared to the bigger stakeholders doing the same/similar at almost 10%.
Oh well, whatever floats your boat indeed.
Oh I'm 100% aware it's not like, the optimal thing to do. It's an experiment.
is it dumb? Probably.
Does it help anyone? fuck if I know.
Will it be a permanent app? Unlikely.
yeah.. you're right in that it could certainly be optimized to vote higher amounts on higher quality posts. I'll have to think on the metrics for that.. Want to avoid giving botters funds, but at the same time also just kinda wanna spray votes. We'll see I guess.
Will certainly think on this a bit. Briefly had thought "god, upvoting everything will probably have people questioning what I support" but then just pulled the trigger on it anyways. Needs tuning. probably won't refactor it till later tonight as the counters reset at midnight for it.
Anyways, cheers man. A lot of what you're saying resonates.
