RE: Split Reward / Comment pool proposal and added curation incentives

in #steemit8 years ago

Improving content discovery is a topic in its own right and has relatively little to do with curation as a whole.

Yes, and I think that lowering the volume of content is a step toward making things a little easier to find.

Sort:  

While that is true, content discovery is mostly difficult because of the lack of tools to access, classify, and sort a sufficient number of posts.

Anyone can build an interface with better tools, I think Steemit inc is focusing on the backend at the moment.

That's right. I saw Ned Scott's video blog post on focusing on the back end. It is a wise strategy.

Not for a social media platform it isn't.

Steem the blockchain is much more than a social media platform. It is the data layer of a host of decentralized services and STEEM the cryptocurrency. Anyone can develop better front end tools even as we speak. And I believe Steemit Inc. will get back to improving steemit.com as soon as the work on the blockchain is complete.
