A Special Something For My Most Engaged Followers. I Hope Other Whales Will Do This Too...

ew-and-patterns (70) · 7 years ago

I hope you are able to somehow filter out the greedy"very interesting" "I like your post" comments and other meaningless sh.it. I like the idea, but auto upvoteing will never be able to filter out every crap comment. Or do you have a solution for this? It sounds like you need to constantly upvote your whitelist. That might be more work than manually curating your comment section.

I will manually curate my list of comment auto-vote. If i see an abuse, I take that person off it. I will also write a post where I will give an upvote when someone finds an abuse in my comment section ;-)

When I comment on your articles I will have to double check my intentions. Am I commenting because I like your work or am I commenting because I want some rewards? I still struggle with this. I want to engage on a genuine level but most of the time I don't feel genuine here on steemit. I feel I must engage rather than I want to engage. Maybe I think too much? I try and give my commenters that put some effort into their comments a big reward compared to those who just write a few words.

I did a little experiment last month. I dedicated almost all my SP to projects. Some commenters stopped commenting because I didn't give them a comment reward. The one's that stayed with me now that I finished this round of delegation will be getting higher rewards.

I also noticed a group of commenters that showed up as soon as my sp was free and they always post at the same time. I think they are bots but I don't know and I always feel bad when I ignore them....sigh

clweeks (54) · 7 years ago

Yes! I fear the perverse incentives built into Steem can really hurt things.

The comment that you have to double-check your intentions is particularly interesting in the context of @Cryptoctopus' post. So, while we're all signing up to auto-upvote his stuff, it will be putting him (even more than he was) into the same boat that you're describing. He knows that posting any old thing is going to net him a bunch of cash, and posting quickly is easier than posting really interesting and thoughtful content. So the incentive is there to just do whatever. He has a history of posting useful things, but it's a form of pressure.

It might sound like I'm down on this initiative, and that's not the case at all. It is super-neat tech, and a fascinating experiment, but maybe not without risk. (I signed up on SteemAuto just now and became a fan!)

Steemit is social experiment, I try and keep this in mind when I’m posting and commenting. We are monetizing social engagement .... nothing new really but with a social platform like Steemit where we make the money rather than the platform like FB or others, which is something new!

Well, we can fight the greed through ignoring the greedy and lifting up those who are create awesome content. I’m aware of the paradox, I watch it myself every day☺️

You win the comment of the day award. Yes, that's an issue and as soon as money come into play, people's greed glands get activated and it's difficult to think straight. Thanks for checking your motivation.

My personal motivation is to make sure that I can lift up as many people with me as steem increase in value and I hope to be able to bring up the people who are active and engaged on the platform daily.

There are bot and that's why I try to stay clear from comments that are too generic.

That's interesting, @reddust. I'll admit, when I read your post about how you could use your SP to get rewards by delegation, I took that maybe the wrong way. I figured you were done with engaging with folks and happy to be a banker! I'm happy to read your comment here. And I appreciate your point about checking our intentions in commenting. My own goal is to try to make a connection of some sort. I don't often just vote without commenting, too. Because it's the comments that keep Steemit social.

That's actually a pretty cool and nifty thing of you to do, more whales should take an example out of you :)! Kinda curious how it's gonna play out. Maybe you should put a limit per person on how many comments can be upvoted, or perhaps with continuous reduced upvotes.

To keep on top of my notifications I use this app recently released, its called Steemify, I would put you the link but I don’t want to be mistakenly flagged as spam...

The app was released like 4 days ago on iOS just after I sign up on this site :D

And it allows you to receive notifications every time an user posts.

Now, you first put your username to register your account like yours so it notifies you every time someone replies to you, and then you can register other users so it notifies you every time one of them posts!

Of course you can add more notifications but those are the one I use. And it doesn’t ask you for any password, just for usernames.

It’s very uselfull at least for me, because it allows to me know every time an user I like has posted.

This user is the creator of the app @blockbrothers

It is exciting to see how some whales are beginning a rather altruistic approach to Steemit in the wake of some controversy. What you are doing and what @fulltimegeek and @stellabelle are doing is encouraging for anyone on Steemit.

Although the approaches are all different, I think the net result for the three of you will be a more loyal and engaged follower base, more accurately a community. Your approach lends itself to people engaging with each other in the comments as well as engaging with you.

I believe if this kind of thing continues, a lot more people will have an opportunity to reach their goals/dreams and put themselves in a position to help others too. Pay it forward style.

Why doesn't Steemit change how they pay out on comments? Seems pretty logical to pay out the comments which are most useful as determined by an algo which takes into consideration the author as well as upvoters. The author could have veto power, and say whether a post was worthless ("good post brah") or useful, and the upvotes would then determine the size of payout.

Can someone explain the difference between delegated steempower and steempower? We're still confused on that one. So when you power down, does that remove both? When you upvote something, does that mean your delegation steempower goes down??

Last thing: does this mean if we do NOT sign up for Steemauto, you won't be upvoting our comments!?!!

$1.60

cryptoctopus (74) · 7 years ago

Lots of things are coming to increase the power of the author on it's comment section.
Delegated SP is rented SP for a certain amount of time. It allow for temporary boost in voting power. If you think you can make more than you've spent to rent it. It's worth it.
I will still upvote, it's just that you won't be guaranteed to be upvoted since I have a hard time to keep up with comments at this point.

I'm nervous about passing my Active-Private key out to anyone, but I'm not sure what I can do about it. I hemmed and hawed over the issue for a while before deciding to gamble and sign up. My hope is that bigger fish (people with more to lose than I), like you, for instance, will have done due diligence to make sure the code is actually safe.

I'd be interested to know what measures you take to be sure such services are safe before using them. I'm mostly interested out of curiosity, but there might be people more cautious than I am, who aren't joining as your fan because of this concern.

Wow you're so generous @cryptoctopus ! Thank you for sharing your blessings, not just sharing informative and helpful posts. I'd definitely love to be your fan! Even without the fanbase definitely I am still a fan of yours.

Resteemed!

I was about to register, but when I saw I hate to pay 0.01 or 0.1 SBD, whatever it was, I opted out. You see, I'm broke LOL I barely earn any SBD. You can check my wallet if you don't believe me. I'm hanging on to every little bit of SBD I earn here. Struggling big time!

It's 0.001 SBD, which is the smallest amount possible to send.

That's really nice of you to put so much effort for your followers (I know you also win from this but there are probably easier ways to do it). And by encouraging your followers to post constructive comments on your posts, you also "teach" us to use Steemit like this. Because if we take the habit to take time and make good comments below your posts, we will probably do the same elsewhere. At the end, I think this initiative will push the platform in the right direction!

I think it is very cool what you are doing. When we get moved I want to lease some additional SP myself, not only to help give a boost to my readers but also to give under read deserving posts a boost and hopefully the author encouragement to keep on posting.

Saya harap Anda bergabung dengan fanbase saya. Saya akui, ini tidak 100% altruistik. Saya yakin sangat keren bahwa akhirnya saya bisa memberi penghargaan kepada pengikut saya yang paling banyak terlibat dengan upvote yang murah hati. Saya yakin itu akan membuat perbedaan besar bagi mereka. Penting juga untuk menyebarkan STEEM ke jumlah orang sebanyak mungkin

You've read that right! I will double my SP so that my upvote on your thoughtful comment is worth 2X as much as it is right now. I figured that with the SBD being that high, it would be a great help for my followers to get extra $$$ from their comments.

This is so awesome and very kind of you.
It's a great thing seeing awesome stuffs from steem mentors (Whales).
SteemAuto it is..

Excellent, first of all many congratulations to you on getting more sp and secondly thanks for creating such opportunities for all the community, well you made a great decision to reward thoughtful comments automatically once they get into your list and i hope in this way peoples surely get more encouragement and then they try to submit more thoughtful comments, i see you are struggling with notifications and same with me too, i see a new steemit notification app is launched by blockbrothers few days ago and it's also available for the free download in apple store, i think it's great app if we use it in our android device and by using it we get in time notifications, so we never miss any activity too, here is the post from blockbrothers.

Hope it helps

I think this is a very good and forward thinking action on your part. When every vote is "automatic" from this list or that one the content becomes irrevalant as far as comments go. Let's be honest who is going to keep commenting when never rewarded?

I will follow along and read your stuff. I'm excited to see if I can get on that list. I will not apply until I've folled you a little longer.

You mentioned notifications not being great on the platform. I really home they find a way to make these better. I don't even know how to use them.

@cryptoctopus u always present us with a meaningful contents...and i really learned a lot about the cryptomarket.
I hv noticed each of your post get uopvoted by 100/ 200 within seconds sortlisting your followers out of the list is prety difficult...still i wish i wud make to it.

Wow! Awesome move. I've followed some trail on Steem auto but never knew what the fan base option was all about - just like most others. Lol! You just clarified that aspect. Appreciations. Time to revisit steemauto to explore the fan base option... not forgetting to join your base of course.

But I'm also motivated by the fact that as I get my fans to get more and more SteemPower, their upvote will be worth more and more on my post over time. It's a Win/Win after all.

You are quite frank here, sir, and I love it. It's so crystal clear what you are trying to do for us. Thank you much.

I am signed up and watching with interest. I am not a fan of autovoting... but I do understand the issues of having more on the to do list than hours in a day. I appreciate that you will still attempt to do some quality control and am quite curious to see how your plan plays out!

Brilliant! It's so cool to see the creative solutions people come up with when they want to do THIS, but also need to do THAT (fill in the blanks there!). Should I ever become a whale, I need to remember this and set something similar up. Thanks for the inspiration!
