RE: Monero Is Quietly Exploding While the Rest of Crypto Stalls
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The biggest problem is that it's being done in the shade
yet I've admitted to stuff in posts, right?
if you're gonna go on your posh rants in public discords you can't expect people not to find out about them.
Curation isn't always about direct traffic, it's also about effort and many other things that we may reward authors for, to keep them posting/sharing, try new things, stay involved, keep trying, etc.
You like to hammer down on a project that's just taking off because it's not instantly showing results while there's close to nothing even close to it in the space bringing in traffic to our ecosystem and focusing on a few power-sharers as if they're abusers just because they know how to share well and take over the top viewed page on peakd.
I'm all for criticism about curation, but it's not like I'm picking favorites with certain sharers over others, even though some make it hard when they go overboard with it or just share stuff that may not generate much traffic, I just try to curate it in a neutral way and hope they improve and more people join and our ecosystem becomes known outside rather than where we are right now.
If it's not worth it then what is the loss exactly? Some authors got 3% less rewards? If it's not worth it I'm sure people with a lot more stake are going to let me know rather than 1-2 people who can't get it out of their head and keep getting into arguments about because they want to be right about it.
I'm not hiding my thoughts, discord servers are public and if I didn't want it to be public, I would DM people. I'm trying to have civil conversations, you are the one having tantrums.
So I got it now! YOU get to decide where the reward pool should go, only YOU. You know better then anyone what curation is right? So you feel entitled to do whatever you want. 👍
I don't want to hammer anything down, I even offered my help to create tools to make it better, but you don't want it because you know that when we see real numbers, it will be disappointing.
You still don't get it, it's about community. We as community decided how the reward pool should be used. It doesn't matter if the project is good or not, this is NOT the purpose of the reward pool, period! You are creating precedent where people will say that they can do it too, then you will have to accept it, or you will create a conflict. It's about ethics.
Good luck, I'll just go back to try to forget this. (until someone else brings it up again, just don't blame me and feel free to tag me, I love it!)
You're literally the only one complaining about it, and you've complained to many yet most don't care. It's hard not to make it out to be you having ulterior motives about it compared to you trying to be protective of the reward pool and wanting what's best for hive.
If giving people a few cents for putting in the time to share their or other people's posts is overrewarded, people are free to downvote them. Although it's weird that they'd focus on that compared to the thousands of posts farming autovotes/delegationforvote projects, etc.
You thinking the reward pool should only be used for posts and comments is quite limited thinking. Naturally however if author rewards are being farmed to only benefit a few, then it's not really the same as posh. If posh ends up doing well, you benefit from it indirectly as well through your stake in this ecosystem.
I didn't start it this time and more people are complaining, didn't someone else tag you? or was it me? people are just afraid of you and I'm not afraid to speak up. And the ulterior motives, tell me more about this conspiracy theory 😂
it's not cents, people are making thousands, much more then any author. and the downvotes shouldn't be on the posts, but in the redditposh comments, but it's impossible to counter, and if anyone does, you will have a big tantrum, and people are afraid of you.
they are actually benefiting only a few, there are a handful of people making thousands of Hive per month and you think you are entitled to say whats good and not good for Hive.
Maybe my thinking is limited in ethics...
They share links over images, they do the shares that brings in most views.
If it wasn't for POSH we would barely have any people on X today talking about Hive. If it wasn't for POSH we wouldn't have people sharing on one of the most popular websites in the world.
We should be grateful they don't just cut off our API access like X did. The amount we reward people is a fraction what it would cost marketing agencies to provide the same numbers. Ask lordbutterfly what the 130k did for hive when he tried compared to proven traffic through redditposh.
Whether or not it instantly translates to new sign ups or investors isn't important, it's not like the author reward pool is doing it either right now and this is just a fraction of the rewards. It's something and its working and growing with over 70 people sharing last week compared to only a few a few months ago.
I don't give people reasons to be afraid of me but eventually you get to a point where youre just wasting time and the irrelevant person causing all the time wasting is going around dragging your name and project in the mud cause he's too simple minded to understand the effects and potential of this project and due to freedom of speech I have to waste more time letting other readers know why they're wrong.
OK. So for the same reason we should keep investing in the rally car, I bet it gets a lot of views too! It's not important if it translates in real results for Hive.
But thats not even the point, maybe I'm wrong and you are right. So if you are so sure about it. Do the right thing, make a proposal to DHF and let the community vote. A lot of people trust you and I bet you would pass the proposal. Just don't use the reward pool, because thats not the purpose, right?. At least there will be transparency, you would have to show metrics, goals, etc.
I like the idea of sharing elsewhere. But I wouldn't vote a proposal the way it is today, I don't think we get enough views on Hive. Only a very few posts get over 200+ views, maybe less then 3 a day? The little we get don't have anything to trigger the user interest in learning about the platform. So the real return is small. I don't care how much it cost in marketing agencies, the cost is irrelevant if there are no proven results back to Hive.
You need to make better use of all these views you say are so important.
There is transparency and the people who delegate to me and ocdb, at least the ones I can contact are aware of it and in favor.
If we didn't vote on posh stuff we would just spend extra voting power on hbd.funder, do you consider that to be misuse of the rewards pool as well? What about burn posts? What about authors that get no views nor engage but post daily and get big votes? Are they beneficial to hive? Do you cry in their corner? Maybe start somewhere that's been going on for years and no one's put a stop to it compared to a project that just got things going on reddit and its yet to determine how beneficial it is for our largely unknown platform with only a bunch of weirdos trying to gatekeep how it is used.
thats a good way out, comparing it to things you probably think is wrong. If they can do it wrong, so can I. 👍
I don't dislike burning it, but it's my opinion. Is burning something frowned upon by the community? If it is, they I would rather not do it.
no I'm saying if we weren't voting posh we would be voting on that, do you think that's better vs the potential to bring in traffic to our ecosystem? Do you think just continuing to vote on author's posts with all available voting power instead of experimenting is better? Apparently you seem to think that and you'd be in a minority at the moment so what is the point of this?
the community doesn't think posh is frowned upon, maybe the way we've generated liquidity through posts and comments but they understand it will be used for the project and not go to a single entity.
like cwow today, a lot of people don't know the ins and outs of posh and when they learned they get alarmed, not the first time I've seen happen since I figured out.
I think that if you don't know what to do with it, better burn it. Misusing it is worse then burning.
You clearly egged him on with how you presented it in discord lol
anyway your opinion has been noted like usual, if I did everything based on everyone's opinions I wouldn't be doing anything on here. People have opinions about you as well but I try not to take them too serious either. Have a good day.
Let’s say I’m the devil’s advocate. I presented how I see it. It’s my opinion about it and everyone in that discord can have their own opinions. They can or cannot agree with me.
I know we all have opinions about everyone 😅. I’m definitely far from perfect, I have my own problems, maybe too many. Can’t please everyone.
if you have any ideas on how we can improve curation of posh other than "none of it is worth anything", I'm all ears. I take into consideration what many say, for instance some of the top sharers disagree with voting up image link shares at all but I think it's kind of rude to not reward some people anything at all. I have however switched to only voting some shares with this account as even ocdb's 1% votes may be a bit too large there in terms of hive rewards. Maybe not $ rewards but let's hope this dip is temporary.
They can't handle the truth 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Hello everyone I hope you are all good and well today
I'm only really sharing this because of this racist weirdo on Hive who really thinks downvotes and word's do anything all I can do is laugh 😂 and share the truth and we all know when your lying the truth hurts
Some try to say that downvotes are good for Hive but what good had come out of downvoting good honest people away 🤔
You some stupid whales on Hive trying to get others to promote Hive like it's something good and offers freedom when we all know it doesn't offer no freedom unless you are part of the gang ⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕
Here's some screenshots you might find very Interesting I only work with facts not made up stuff 😂
Anyone can talk shit 💩 it means nothing when there's evidence that shows the truth 😁

Here my suggestions then.
First of all (promise this is last time I say this), not use the reward pool and make a DHF proposal. Since I arrived on Hive there were always a lot of restrictions on how the reward pool should be used, the main thing is self-voting. It's about ethics and not about the project itself, one person can't make this decision alone, you can't centralize it in yourself. If someone wants to do something similar, and also claims that will benefit the ecosystem and not profit from it, I believe that if it's not someone with a lot of stake behind, I doubt it would be allowed. You can only do it because it's you, and the stake behind you. (rule by force)
Now about the project itself.
You need more tools to provide you with real metrics. Rewarding the shares should be based on the views we got on Hive, not reddit. This will already solve your problem with image posts. This is a very good example, image posts don't get any views (zero!!!), because reddit puts a preview of all images in the reddit post and users don't have to click the link to view the photos. It's not rude to not pay anything to something that had no results. Like I said, I see lots (seriously) of posts with less then 5 views on Hive getting paid 20+ Hive. I rather you pay nothing to these ones, and pay more to the ones that get 200+ views.
You need to create criteria and post (make it public) of how you are paying the shares. It should be based on how many views the post got on Hive. It can't be subjective, you can't just decide yourself how much, it needs to be fair for everyone. You need a good tool to track the views. Users sharing it on reddit need an incentive to be creative to make viewers click the link, right now it's too easy just to share and not care if viewers will click or not.
Now it doesn't matter if you bring millions of views to Hive, if you don't take advantage of it, it's worthless. Bringing the views is only half the job, you got to make it worth something to the ecosystem. I like the idea of having a frontend for posh, where together with the posts, there is a banner, or something else that makes the visitor curious to know what Hive is. There's got to be some kind of introduction to Hive.
I think these are the main things that come to my mind right now. I'm sure I will have more ideas and will be happy to share with you.
