RE: Specialization - jump starting new steemit sub-communities and creating insurmountable obstacles for others

in #steemit9 years ago

I agree that we need more content variety here. Not so sure on the auto bot whale idea though. That seems to lean toward a more consoled centralized blog. A decentralized model where the curators bring the more popular subject higher into the topic lists is good. More topics in general will come over time as we attract the wider variety of people. By the way love to see you on steem J

Sort:  

the autowhale would just be monitoring a set of registered dolphins for each category. Think of it as a multisig for upvoting. If MofN curator dolphins for that category upvote, it automatically releases the virtual whale's upvote. So it is automation, but really just implementing a tally of human decisions. So for each speciality category there would need to be a way for the official curators to be registered, probably just a similar way to witnesses as that mechanism already exists.
I am advocating to be proactive to make the best categories come to us, rather than rely on chance
