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.
;) 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 :)
