To me it seems that people don't really care about a community unless there is a token tied to it. Whether that token is worth a little or a lot. It's actually sad because there are a ton of great communities out there like my grilling and smoking one that get hardly any love. Then you have communities like sportstalksocial that just collapse. I want to say that one happened because the tokenomics were junk, but even a community like Marky's STEMGeeks has good tokenomics and yet it is stagnant.

It’s true about the Communities without a token . I set up a football one once and there was no interest because there wasn’t a token so people staying on sportstalk . People actually said it to me . There are communities that are great without a token but they all have a ceiling and unless there’s a use case or benefit from staking the token then there you are snookered . But the question is would you sacrifice 20% of your rewards to grow a Community you like ?
No, I wouldn't and I don't. I purposely post where I do because of that. If I was going to sacrifice some portion of rewards, I would send it to @commentrewarder. I mean I know that people have to build their community, but there are other ways. The problem is if you want a token then you need a developer to set up a front end and all the other stuff (assuming you don't know what you are doing yourself). It's a lot of extra hassle. It would be cool if one of the front ends had something built in like a framework for communities.
That's interesting @bozz. I'm glad you said this because this is what I am looking for. So is it true to say that you post where you do to achieve the most optimal rewards?? No shame in saying yes. I think we all do this. For a frontend to be developed you need a few pound to get it off the ground which is where the token comes in. Other than a token there would be no income to pay for things like hosting the website , databases & cost of development. If the token is not successful you are back to square one unless they have another in flow of resources such as a Community staking HBD and paying for hosting from the interest . Who knows if the Community which you contribute to from posts becomes successful it may mean a massive ROI from your 20% reward beneficiary contributions. What I am saying is there needs to be some give and take when it comes to rewards if the users want their community to grow and not just relying on whales to support them,
Yeah, I get that. I think 20% is a lot though. I think if the community is active enough you can get by with 5% of the rewards going back, but then it better be a pretty awesome community with lots of stuff happening. Here is a good example of your first question though. Even though I own and run the grilling and smoking community, I will put those posts in the Discovery-It community and then cross post them into the grilling and smoking one because my small community doesn't catch the eyes of the curators like the larger ones do. It's sad really because I think a lot of good content gets overlooked that way.
yes it is disheartening. I remember seeing one of your turkeys on the barbi and it looked unreal. I must sign up for your community now actually.
You should! I'm actually getting ready to head out and fire up the grill right now! What I would really love to do is start a new sports community with proper tokenomics and strict oversight, but I don't have the skills to do anything like that.
You never know @bozz. You might get what you wish for although we will be taking 20% off you. 🙊😂
