RE: Is Gamifying Curation Rewards Necessary?

Way too technical for me...
It's one of the things I've never really grasped in my time here.
I generally follow the 5 minute rule now (15 minutes on the previous chain)...Because how the curve works and all that, is way too complicated.
I understand the need for everything, but at the end of the day, I will support with votes the people I feel are creating content that helps Hive grow.
Everything else to me, is a bonus...If I hit the right time and the post goes to the moon, yay for me and my CR....If it doesn't I still feel like I helped people that are helping Hive.
I think the easier we make it for the every day user to understand WHY they should be curating, the better...Everything else, I leave to the smart people here. LOL
Yes, the curation game on Hive is way to technical :)
Simplifing it with removing all the extras, voting time, curve etc ... will make it more simple. Will leave us basicly with up or down, options... and it will be more fair, for the not so techie people.
I think that's the message that needs to get across...The easiest you make this stuff, the more people will have the confidence to poke around, vote more and even power up.
Agree not everyone here fully understands the inner workings, Infographics a few years ago would explain concept quite quickly.
Curators normally spend time purely curating work. Insight into timing which on many occasions is curated even when you start consuming a fresh post. Who reads or consumes at that speed? Very little insight/value added after claiming curation, good authors targeted for gain. Why did you read the post, what have you gained from the post, short comment of 50 words at least leaves an content creator feeling stimulated to continue.
Many arrive to share knowledge, not curate irrespective of reward system. Exceptionally well detailed content, walking away with with low value, especially new arrivals pouring heart and soul into content.
If value is not fairly balanced out, or concisely explained, why should people stay. Building Hive for a better future one needs witnesses to weigh in on how to overcome hurdles, we have seen what has happened over the past four years.
