RE: Hive Ecosystem | Data on Curation Groups & KE Ratios!

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Splinterlands actually made KE under 3 a requirement for their curation through the efforts of @azircon. Perhaps other curation groups should do the same. Some exceptions are obviously warranted, but in general a review of author KE ratio and encouragement to not extract everything would be beneficial to Hive.

Curation programs which return cash to the delegators will have high KE ratio by design. For a curation account there is nothing wrong with it. It is an issue though for individuals.

I tried to say that it might be beneficial to Hive long term if other curation groups were encouraging their curated authors to stake some Hive and not take everything out, just like Splinterlands now encourages their authors to maintain a KE ratio below 3.

Exactly, Splinterlands set a great standard of what is needed to actially get one of their upvotes.

However, that the curation programs curate content from such leachers with KE>30 is not ideal. I saw that you delegate a lot to curangel. Were you aware what they support?
Anyway, it seems that only a few such posts are upvoted, so in the grand scheme that might be acceptable.

They never did that. Check out https://peakd.com/@steemmonsters/trail and you'll see up to 25 KE.

Good point, it should also be much easier to instantly check the KE, replacing the worthless reputation score with it would be a good start and easy to change. Also again, delegation/leases should count toward KE as a possible way to fix is for those opted in the past to get out.

Also, my entire wallet. Look how high my KE is, because it doesn't count my HBD in savings and the liquid Hive that is waiting for a PUMP to grow. Anyone who only sees the KE of this account and doesn't know my main account would say that I'm an extractor.

Well, KE Ratio only really relates to those who make posts, and especially those who make a ton of posts, which wouldn't be there if it weren't for the earnings. If you only make a couple each year or mainly read and make comments, KE Ration is simply not important.

If you would make regular posts and received significant upvotes from curation groups on each of them, I'm sure you could agree that this wouldn't be entirely right.

The main idea on Hive for content creators is that it goes both ways, and content itself doesn't really count as a 'contribution'. Users should both get and give some and in order to give you need some Hive Power, in order for it to be a fair amount it needs to be seen in relation to what you received so far.
