RE: Autovoter maximizers or content patrons?

[tarazkp]

I would also like to see more encouragement to vote on comments like they seem to promote in the lEO community.

Me too, though it needs to be tempered with DVs. It requires removing the curve "tax" which I think is currently at about 16 Hive to get over, quite a lot. This becomes more relevant the higher price goes, as if you imagine that if Hive was 2 dollars, a payout would be "taxed" all the way up to 24 dollars. At two dollar Hive, I would be happy to give 5 percent votes like now, which will be almost 50 cents. That should be encouraged and I reckon @blocktrades might be open to the idea of removing the curve if there is support to.

Although I do enjoy reading many of the higher paid out accounts I think they are rewarded well enough. (Again sorry).

This is as it should be. Again, with higher price Hive, I am hoping for trending to have 1000 dollar posts, but the total distribution to be far wider.

What encourages me most is that I am not alone in my concerns regarding the autovotes.

It takes time to change cultural norms.

During the discussion on the roadmap post, it seemed like the general consensus was that the linear convergent curve was more damaging than beneficial, so we're planning to remove it as part of the HF25 code changes.

That is awesome news. I must have missed it =)

I think it will make a difference, especially with increasing prices, s rewarding comments can help a huge amount with activity and engagement. It also aids in distribution to those who don't post much. I have been doing it for years anyway, though it will be nice not to be "punished" for it.

Finally!! _{¡Holy Moly!}

You type so fast it's incredible. It took me around twenty minutes to formulate my comment and within two minutes you replied. Amazing.

I didn't realise that it was tied to the vote tax. Must do some more reading on how all this works. I would also like to see more use of the downvotes balancing up the reward pool but I think that will take a big change of culture on the chain.

@ammonite didn't you know @tarazkp left to the poor Marcel Fernandes Filho swallowing dust and suffering shame long time ago?

So, don't buy it when he says he type quite slowly. Hahahaha

It takes me so long to write a comment. I started this one yesterday evening and after several drafts, this is the best I can come up with.

There has already been too much ENGAGE today.

I type quite slowly, but after I post, I try to make sure that I am available for some period of time to get to comments. It isn't always possible with my schedule and family life though.

If you search for "convergent curve" you will find the technical information on it. It was back in Steem days that it was implemented. HF20 perhaps.

Thanks, I'll check that out.
