Hey @stoodkev, I just used the beneficiaries feature of steem-plus and @steem-plus has been added automatically as a 5% beneficiary. While I appreciate your work, I did not agree to this and believe that something like this should be communicated clearly before posting.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It s in the README, and written in this post.
It is not in the Chrome Store Description nor are there any terms and conditions that I needed to read & accept when I started using the steem-plus (which would be a legal requirement for something like beneficiary rewards I think?) and as an end user I usually don't search for the Github repo and read the README there.
Maybe consider informing about this when someone uses the beneficiary feature, e.g. in form of visibly adding a non-editable 5% beneficiary alongside the other beneficiaries.
I find that beneficiary rewards are not communicated clearly enough by most Steem projects (busy referral, Steepshot, Dtube) and many people don't even know about them, many even buy upvotes for posts with beneficiaries set and end up losing money due to this. When I was new on Steemit, I was buying small votes for my Steepshot posts without knowing about beneficiary rewards and only found out about them when I researched why my payouts were lower than expected..
Steem-plus is an open source project that already gets a lot of funding from budgets and utopian, but my problem is not that you are using beneficiary rewards, my problem is that I had to find out about this in the block explorer afterwards. I hope that other open source projects don't do the same and Firefox sends 5% of my paycheck to Mozilla when I sign in to my online banking lol
Although I think it was clear enough already, and in order to be as transparent as possible, I m adding a disclaimer:
FYI, Utopian doesn't fund SteemPlus, its not how it works; and budgets is dead.
Looks great, it will be much clearer now, thanks for adding this! I just re-added you as a witness. Keep up the great work!
By Utopian funding, I was referring to the utopian upvote that every open source project can get. Sorry to hear about budgets..
