Hi fellow Steemians!
When I walked to the gym today I was checking Steemit and suddenly I realized something and asked myself a question: Why can I vote on a post directly from my feed?
That is a bit strange, right? Only when I read a post I am able to determine the quality of the content. So it would be logical to me if voting would only be possible on the page of the post itself...
Then I asked myself another question: What would happen if it was only possible to vote on a post on the page itself and not directly from my feed or other pages (new, trending, hot etc.)?
I came to the conclusion that it might be a nice improvement with some interesting effects. My quick thoughts are these:
- It might decrease the number of ‘blind’ votes (people that haven’t actually read the content of a post). Therefore, it might also decrease the total number of votes.
- The reward pool would be distributed to less, but higher quality votes.
- It would stimulate people to really read a post instead of immediately vote (to just get curation rewards for example).
- It might slightly increase the average time until the first vote occurs, meaning a relatively higher percentage of the money goes to the curators instead of the author.
What do you think? Would this be an improvement or would it have a negative impact? What other side effects do you predict?
