RE: A thought on why 50/50 rewards will ruin this place
!dramatoken
Well, @whatsup actually reads when she upvotes, so that does take longer, but I do agree many will just upvote whomever they think will be successful.
Thanks for the Drama token ;) I didn't think this would cause drama heh.
If I am remembering correctly many posts are upvoted by bots and or autoupvoting curation trails. I see that there is no incentive or mechanism for manual curation or at least some kind of guidelines that could be enforced. Since that is the case its just the wild west. I conclude that giving 50/50 rewards just increases the quantity of curation rewards to everyone but not the quality of upvoting.
So if the witnesses think they need to increase the quantity of curation rewards because that will somehow improve quality, they are sorely mistaken. There is 0 incentive structure for anyone to improve curation quality. We can just upvote anything or anyone without caring, collect our 50% curation reward(something like 25% to 35% APR).
I don't think any system that allows blind upvoting with such a rate of return could last very long or be considered legitimate.
there is no mechanism that will "make" people curate with quality; even going past the subjective nature of "quality", and system change can be met with an equal gaming tweak
