RE: Hive Ecosystem | Data on Curation Groups & KE Ratios!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There is another,
E) Not all content "creators" are in a position to invest external funds into HIVE to "increase" their KE, and such a policy by curators would likely see an exodus in those content creators should curation communities elect to vote only based on KE, and not objective matters such as post quality.
There's also option F) - All of the above
But the more I think about the comment I made above, the more I have ... more thoughts about curation.
I am not planning on going anywhere anytime soon, but I am definitely not currently in a financial position to "fix" my KE - other than through earning it.
The reason I want more HP (and I'm trying to earn it through good posts) is so that I can award content that I stumble across here that I wouldn't stumble across elsewhere.
Curating stuff is much fun and rewarding!
(Manual curation is hightly appreciated, no, I really do mean so). But this thing is a bit rare to find...
The curation isn't the reward, it is the joy I get from sharing in the joy (or sometimes misery and struggle) that the creator had in creating whatever they created. :)
I am going to bed now, but I will be interested to read other comments in the post.
I do hope the community generates a discussion around this post!
Good curation criteria should be comprehensive -> and not formal, not mechanical but manual. For me personally, KE / person's HP strength / amount of efforts invested in a post / user engagement, activity -> all these aspects are important.
Example (negative).
Look at 10 posts in a row from a common 'successful' Hive blogger, and you may see each post got solid support, while having 0 comments; or just 5-10 formal comments from bots; but did not attracted a single Hive user, all skipped it (even if they gave their votes for this content) - I see it as an internal vice.... and to me such rewarding is questionable. (And, yes, I understand very well when we add such a formal criterion for curators - it will not lead to anything good, except for hundreds of comments a la 'Brilliant click / Successful post / Have a nice day', etc). heh.
Or, you see an interesting topic - and see comments, and the comments are a combination of
"THIS POST HAS BEEN CURATED BY X"
"THANK YOU FOR HODL HIVE ENGINE TOKEN Y"
"Nice post Deer"
"Hmm, interesting"
And ... you get disappointed that there's no genuine engagement or discussion behind a potentially interesting post that you decided to read.
