This way of thinking is a bit flawed and here is why.. Lets say you try to buy 1 billion $ worth steem to convert to steem power.. That will affect the price of each steem coin tremendously, price per steem will skyrocket! Next time when you try to buy 1 billion $ worth of steem you will get much less steem coins! Do you see what I am getting at? It seems like you base your argument on static steem price?
And yes I agree with you we need a way to "explore" new authors "quality" posts, without spending hours after hours! I can imagine that it must be frustrating for new authors to get noticed by people with impactful SP!
Next question is who decides which post is a “quality” post? Everyone have different interests/agenda. We need a mechanism to incentivize people to find new "quality" posts but not by forcing anyone to do so. If someone can program an algorithm that fact checks peoples posts would be awesome :D
Maybe if we have a similar system like “witnesses”. If we can vote for steemians that we have similar tastes with and find reliable in every single tag/topic that you are interested in and they get paid to find new authors that they might think that you would like. That might save a lot of time for many people. I am a bit drunk atm and I thought that I had to comment on this reply: D I will get back to you tomorrow!
Yes, we should have a delegated curation team (DCT) per niche where they are voted in monthly by members of the community.
Exactly.. how will we pay for them tho?
They should automatically receive a percentage of the steem reward pool. They should be rated by delegated members and based on that rating, it influences their stake of the reward.
Because they curated it first they should get the biggest piece of the pie.
Well ofcourse; but to say they will curate first isn't something of certainty. It only depends on if they curate first. Eitherway the allocation of a % of the reward to delegated curators pool would have to be independent of normal curaration rewards.
For example delegated curators would get something close to a fixed fee which may vary based on their ranking. Though, this in a way, is going more towards centralisation.
I'm cryptoconfused ;) If people are first to curate, aren't they getting more $$ than people who come later? That is if a post turns out to be popular?
Not necessarily; infact is not set that way; there is a timeframe in which curation rewards are at its highest. Before and after this timeframe, it is rather very low.
Though; what I was saying is that, there is no guarantee that delegated curators will be the first to curate the content as there are content being posted with high frequency and this will likely increase over the next months or so.
