"The system doesn't know what is manual."
But the system does know what is a comment.
So, the system could give rewards only to comments.
In this way you get rewards only by commenting.
If someone comments with "!!!" very easily can have downvotes.
Everyone is more likely to comment actively.
The vote (as a single "like") to a post, should not bring any reward (in this way you would fight the blind vote and communities are more active and alive, with people who talk).
That is my solution, thinking about the blind vote
I doubt you will see a major change in how rewards work. You need to tell developers and witnesses your ideas. We can earn in many ways, but some people will want to automate it. There have to be incentives to vote and curation rewards are part of that.
so again we'll talk about how little interaction exists in a community (hive blog) where everyone is minding their own business just because they're interested in profit and not social interaction.
Connecting and playing games doesn't increase the value of social.
they are just active connections that feed the system.
but of single entities that only look at their own gain.
again, there is more interaction and exchange of ideas inside facebook and twitter (less on instagram, but it is a different social, based on the pleasure of photography)
