I can agree with a lot of what you said but I am conflicted on the curation as extraction. I personally curate posts manually. I try to follow people that I find interesting, and topics that I like. Curation is Hive's way of 'mining' the tokens apart from creating posts. I don't really see that as anything bad. If you curate to extract, I think Hive is great at being able to solve that on its own. By extracting value, removing it from your account and converting it to Fiat, your HP and curation value will not increase. If you curate to increase your HP and curation value, I don't see that as a bad thing. People have different interests, and we shouldn't control it. Hive is a social platform, food and travel posts might not be too beneficial to the Hive ecosystem as a whole, but most posts don't have to be.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Only I didn't say food and travel posts are bad. In fact, I said
My point is posts that elevate visibility, understanding, and use-cases of our ecosystem should have a little bit higher vote from curators.
I never said that you said food and travel posts are bad. I don't know where you got that. My wording was "might not be too beneficial... don't have to be"; they are still beneficial, just not to the effect that you want. I just used them as an example because those are the posts I like.
This part of the reply was also in relation to your other statements:
And I will again repeat what I said more specifically. People have different interests and we shouldn't control it. Hive is a social platform. Not all posts need to add value to the ecosystem or educate others about Hive; generating conversations and sharing interests is still beneficial. Let the people and curators decide what has value based on what they like.
Yes, people have different interests.
Yes, not all posts need to add value to the ecosystem or educate about HIVE.
Yes, people can decide what has value.
We agree on all points my friend.
I (Alex Rourke) choose to carefully seek to promote and give preference (with a higher upvote) to content that elevates visibility, understanding, value, use-cases of our ecosystem. I believe this builds culture.
Yep, as the first line in my first comment says, I agree with a lot of what you said. There were some confusion, but I'm glad we sorted that out.
As for what you want to happen for those specific posts, I would suggest creating a group or make them use a tag, create a curation trail, and have them upvote those types of posts with the tag. This is similar to how other communities do it.
