RE: Graveyard shifts and flattening curves for evergreen content

It would be surprising if someone found a post on google, signed up, and sent a tip.

Yeah, I think it is people from Hive looking for answers to questions like "what the fuck is curation and how does it work?"

Unearthing would be incentivized if there was the chance to reward. Why would an interface add old content that is closed for author and curator?

Why would an interface add old content that is closed for author and curator?

An 'articles to tip' feed?

I guess the comments section is open forever too.

Hmm this post and comment thread gives me a few ideas.

1. A new type of feed could be implemented which ranks content based on monthly clicks from google/twitter, etc. (i.e. a view based algo - which I think PeakD may have already built)
2. This could show content regardless of age - if it’s 2 years old but is attracting the most attention this month, then it’s listed at the top
3. On a UI level, we could also change the upvote button. When a user clicks to upvote a post that is 2 years old, it could do 1 of 2 things imo:

1). The backend could quickly generate a comment with the author set as beneficiary and retarget the curators upvote to the comment. To the curator, they upvoted the post like normal, but on the backend they upvoted a beneficiary comment.
2). The upvote dialog could prompt a tip instead of an upvote when the post is over 7 days old. But as you outlined above, this could have other issues attached.

Just brain vomiting here. I may try to tackle this in a LeoFinance update

;) Nice.

I would also add that when things come up and there is relevant old content, it might be worth "promoting" it in the feed somehow. I think this would encourage some people to create more lasting generalized content that could attract views for years and start moving up the SEO ranks.

There are many solutions that can be implemented at the layer 2 side and I am glad that you are open to experimentation. I generally focus on the Hive level, but always hope that things will spill over into innovatiion all over the place. Thanks.

Also, on a side note, I don't spend "that much" time talking direct investing or finance and prefer the social side and mindset around investing - I often post them in LEO as I think it is about adding content collateral around the more timely content. I am hoping that LEO becomes an ecosystem of diverse content that supports investing from all angles - hope you don't mind :)

I am liking the sound of this.

My first thoughts are around people trying to game the clicks - most articles are searchable if you include a username. So perhaps something to track unique clicks, and so a bit more work from the gamer required.

That aside, a feed showing most popular 'outdated' articles based on clickthoughs sounds pretty awesome to me, as well as the ability to vote the post, which automatically sends a vote to a comment. @rewarding by @holger80 was something not to dissimilar to this in that it provided a fairly easy way to reward the author (by generating a comment which was 100% beneficiary to the OP). I guess tipping reduced interest.

I might as well take the opportunity to say you and team are doing a sterling job with leofinance. Steemit inc. wanted steemit.com to be the homepage for crypto news, etc, but they failed - hopefully leofinance can crack it!

The comment section has limited appeal.
