RE: Rethinking Hive author rewards: How can we improve the distribution of rewards?

Good post for discussions.
More tools from the front-ends would be beneficial, things like the KE thing (although I personally don't find it too valuable) it's important to exist and be shown and let curators and stakeholders make their own decisions, hopefully not solely based on that but a mixture of other things.
Tools like how many unique recipients of an account's votes, this can easily be turned into a number like KE as well.
The cap is also not a great idea IMO, but I'd have nothing against downvotes occurring for certain accounts earning too much or based on the indicators mentioned above or other things like what value those accounts provide and perceived intentions (if they constantly only post for the rewards it'd make sense to downvote them a bit more often if they're earning a lot).
A lot of these are great things to talk about and come up with ways to make it fairer for everyone on chain, but for now active and blatant vote selling seems like a much bigger issue IMO and it's important not to let that grow.
I'd also vote for front-ends to split up the comment section into known bot comments compared to regular genuine comments, this could also become a tool indicating how many genuine comments an account receives so curators aren't fooled by a quick glance making an account look "healthy" and deserving of rewards but looking into the posts you find out it's all just bots.
Good point!
I agree. But it would be best if the tools were integrated into the front ends, so users don't have to look up these 'values' for every post.
I was thinking of a sort of traffic light system just as they do in the UK to indicate how much fat/salt/sugar there is in food.
Replacing the rep score next to the username with some small icons that would visually indicate some behavior of the poster maybe could be an option.
I wonder why...?
Me neither, but who is going to do that? And how are you going to prevent downvote wars?
I see it as a whole; people not adding (or rather retracting) value from the Hive blockchain. I think you have really showed us an important thing, but you're doing it on your own now.
I think these problems could be improved when we, the willing Hivers, work together.
It encourages daily posts and discourages long high effort posts, some authors may not wanna post daily and maybe come out with something once a week/month where it's longer than most posts on trending that day, why limit it to a certain threshold of how much they can earn for it, especially with no evergreen hive rewards. I don't think we should discourage such posts from time to time.
