RE: Let us talk about curation trails and voting
having real people, consciousness, evaluate and upvote content would actually give an honest representation of evaluation of content, as opposed to autovotes and trails of blind upvotes. I have not used these services since I joined because that's how I view the ideal and proper way to do things. We would get less votes, but they would be real votes from peopel giving them because of the content. Bots and trails won't be going away anytime soon, or ever :/
I commend you for that as a lot, but of course not all dolphins and whales, use trails and autovote people they have taken a shine on and was one of the reasons I left a group before when one of the founders why it is so important. To get to the autovote list of a whale because once you do even if you post a shit post it'll still get an upvote and he demonstrated it by posting a cartoon image of poop and boom after 30 minutes there was an upvote. I left in disgust.
It is important for the platform to make sure that we upvote posts that resonate and of value to us. To read what people write and engaged.
While there are good arguments of automation I still believe we need to exert time and effort to manually curate. To use the excuse we are busy would be a disservice to people who take the time to write posts.
Yes at this point while still waiting if Hivemind will change things bots and curation trails are here to stay.
