That's no where close to what hive rewards are, we can have that on top of hive rewards. You're talking about adrevenue and donations, not stake i.e. shares in a company.
You saying it's "just a circlejerk" undermine's everyone's efforts trying to use it well.
Because most people do not give a shit about the stake, they only give a shit about how much dollars they can get for that stake and that is what we tell people to bring them here. "You can earn rewards for your content." We are not selling the people the idea that they are going to "own shares" in company, we are selling them that they will get dollars.
Time to wake-up to reality of this.
Do you exclude people from your curation who is above certain KE ratio? If so what is that threshold?
Because throwing more stake at the expense of mine to people that don't want to hold that stake is not using it well in my book.
