RE: Can we Lose the HIVE Voting Window?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Yeah, the curation window has always been a bugbear of mine. It actually pushes people away from manually curating. What's the point in finding a good post that everyone already has voted on knowing that you get the shittest returns for voting at the end. And who the fuck can find new shit within 5 minutes of it being posted. Nuts.
And the curve, well intentioned that it was, killed engagement. Killed it dead. Which I feel hastened the ghost town effect.
But the worst and it's the one you have picked up on is the UX on the site in the weeks preceding the hardfork and the weeks after. It was a long time and people were just meant to suck it up. That's not how it works. For me it was one in a long line of changes or lack of changes towards the user that dulled my interest. I haven't quit despite not posting for a while but the endless fucking about to the detriment of ux is ruining the place. I have posted through thick and thin, low price and high but what is the point in posting if actually posting, commenting and voting becomes a laggy error-prone hassle, sometimes it's all just a bug-ridden nightmare. Given that my job is in the area of test it particularly grinds my gears.
Don't even get me started on switching the nodes. How to explain that to a noob!
Lol, rant over.
I did wonder why we were not getting more Huel posts, but didn't go as far as DM'ing you. All the node switching seems to have gone but it was annoying and did it lower the token price?
I think it may have had an impact, you said it yourself.., it 'dulled your interest'.
The curve did kill engagement. It benefits me, but I would still do away with it. A higher token price is better for all of us.
Totally. In our current form it's just not appealing to users. It still takes too long to register votes and refresh reply feeds and other things. If its hard to use, people wont bother. Apart from the folk who are desperate at any costs for money and no offense to a lot of them but there are only so many I woke up and brushed my teeth and tried to tell the village/my friends/my school about hive posts that anyone can take. :O)
