Rewarding More An Ordinary Content on POB
First of all, this is not some sort of complaint and nor I am trying to highlight myself and tell you people to upvote for me. Nor I am trying to get some sympathy votes sharing this thing with you guys.
What I love about POB, is that this tribe has really gained a very good and quick popularity among community across HIVE and not only that, we see some great content as well here on POB.
Prices of POB also have impressed me at times when we were facing lesser prices for HIVE and Leo. I saw a bunch of people selling their POB to make some profits and I think nothing is wrong with that because afterall, we all are here to earn POB tokens.
Not only selling but we also saw some users buying sort of creating the balance.
Talking about the content here, I think most of us would agree that most of the content published on POB is really good. No Doubt, we have some good writers here. And that is where the value we get.
But I think you also may have noticed that some posts on POB are being rewarded more than what it deserve. Which is sort of frustrating for those who try to work hard producing something good.
Because if we see some extra rewards for an ordinary content then we also see some good content receiving low rewards and that is where the problem begins.
We should not let those good writers down. Instead we should give them a hand, appreciate them, reward them because to me, they are the assets to POB tribe. And because of them this tribe could grow.
A Whale cannot vote somebody heavily just because of his personal liking. We should be unbiased as much as we can.
To err is human, but at least we can try to avoid or minimize errors.
These were some of my thoughts which I felt I should share with the POB community.
Hoping for the brighter future of POB.
Thanks
I heard that there is a thing called "circlejerking". They upvote literally each other, so it is absolutely/completely personal.
Not all are bad.
Many of the whales have each other on auto-vote (I expect). Here in POB I do see some effort to get people to not do that.
Tell me a better community than pob in your vote distribution.
I could agree with what you were saying a few months ago, but today I can guarantee that a lot of hard curation work is being done so that more people are rewarded.
I myself am part of a group of curators for the Pobleus project. Have you ever heard of it? And I can guarantee that we are all working so that more and more people are voted.
There are a lot of communities. Proof of Brain kind of began to shine because it is not ordinary. Some people now post here because POB is doing really well. I think the only requirement for the community though is that you prove you have a brain and are not a bot. :)
That means content not made by a bot is welcome. Whether that means we should be voting up "common" posts and "common" content though is rather subjective. Each person may have a different idea of "common". I can tell you that I get enough of "common" all over the place so that isn't what I tend to up vote. It could happen but I am interested personally in the uncommon, rare, and unique. Occasionally something common may catch my attention.
I have up voted people I know and still do from time to time but I tend to just look through posts and up vote things that catch my attention and I find interesting.
I'll often throw some at people's introductory posts as well.
Cool
