RE: How Long Should The Curation Window On Hive Be?

in dPoll3 years ago (edited)

I use autovoting too but honestly, I would remove the window completely. It distorts the curation. Sometimes, you stumble upon a great post that you would like to support as late as a few days after the publication but do you really want to upvote it in the current system when you see it already has a payout worth dozens of dollars?

Sort:  

Completely agree with this! Its impossible to be 24/7 checking posts, and you're bound to find a few (or should I say almost all) posts worthy of an upvote outside that curation window.

Exactly :) With the window removed and curation rewards constant no matter when you upvote, people would genuinely upvote just the content they really like and find interesting/useful/worth the rewards without having to worry about losing out on something. My opinion.

maybe i should have added no window as an option as well.

I will vote if you add: no window

Seeing that most people here vote 24 hours, I am sure some would support the no-window option. Can you still add it in the poll?

would not let me edit it in, I'll do a few more dpolls to get a feel for what people want. IE since 24h is the most popular currently, can add it to next pool, 24h vs No Window.

I would vote for the no window option. Though a 24 hour window isn't the end of the world and would my next choice.

Hugs dear friend. Successes in your work at Hive. Your evaluation is an encouragement for our publications. Thank you.

What you will then find is that people will vote shit several days later so that they can fly it under the radar. Sweetsssj has done this for years - but she is voting on her alts so gets all the curation plus the reward anyway :D

Shouldn't behavior like that trigger our abuse mitigation efforts?

only if it is firstly noticed and secondly, cared about.

Yep, some abuse is just gonna continue because those that can do something about it won't.
It's like delegating for profit differs from vote selling how?

Why would you vote shit if you could vote something you really like and get the same rewards for that?

why take 50% when you can take 100%?

They are essentially selfvoting - so they take the reward and the curation - not just the curation.

Ah you were talking about selfvoting... Ok then, makes sense.

take away the penalty and selfvoting will increase. Take away the window completely and the late selfvotes will increase. No matter what changes are made, assume that people are going to try to scam it to maximize themselves, even if it ends up costing them long term.

I know, it´s a tricky issue. But I would still give a shot to flat curation and no window, meaning the only factor influencing the curation rewards of the users would be the size of their stake. That would allow them to curate (other people´s stuff) honestly without having to worry about losing out on rewards. Those last minute (last day) selfvoters could be a problem but we have free downvotes to fight any form of abuse. I know it would be difficult to downvote such a post but you can still downvote the next one as a kind of a retrospective punishment :)

You know how many people downvote on Hive?
