No! we need more users first! did you know that a new user came from hive called @holovision and only people from the Blurt Core team welcomed him?
How comes you didn't welcome him with a blurtbooster vote? White list only votes is a stupid policy. Give votes to everyone and then look after them. If you find spam or plagiarism, then add users to blacklist
Do you remember the time when I voted on every post? It brought tons of new users, many spammers and many good folks who are here till today.
Vote on everything. This is the only way to get and keep new users here.
Well said - the 'whitelist' is really a blacklist...
Let's change 'whitelist' to 'inclusive list' and everything will be clear
or....'whitelist' to 'go along to get along, corner' !.....the option are endless! lol
Hi, thank you for your reply and suggestion. I don’t oversee the Blurtbooster votes myself, the code was designed by @saboin and has oversight by a team he put together. I have tagged him here incase he wishes to clarify its mechanics or make any adjustments he deems to be a good idea.
I’m starting to understand you more, I believe you do have an interest in seeing Blurt succeed but maybe have different ideas on how to achieve that. I think however, our goals are aligned for growing Blurt.
I agree that votes and engagement are necessary, but I also don’t think a bot vote makes up for organic human votes, the real value comes in when many users comment and vote on posts of new and existing authors, attention is addictive, you don’t get the same dopamine from a bot votes or replies in an automated fashion, as when real people validate you and your content personally.
I have asked @outofthematrix to look into some general research on a user acquisition and experience funnel.
I think what must happen is that a sales funnel type software should be operated by a dedicated user experience team, the user is welcomed and guided to join a Newbie community, then we as a whole support and nurture the Newbie community with real human touch interest and engagement and accompanying votes according to merit.
Once this funnel is perfected we can do targetted ads on other socials like facebook, and even hold events on Eventbrite to teach people about the world of crypto with Blurt as the gateway. We basically need a gradual user experience journey from Web2 to Web3 with training, positive reinforcement and support along the way.
I also want to present some HF ideas for you to read over, please afford us some time on that, @khrom may have mentioned to you about some of it.
Anyway, thanks for the constructive comment, hopefully this marks the start of cordial conversations between us for the betterment of Blurt.
I don't even have a discord account (or any other social media) to contact him. It would be nice if hf ideas were published on Blurt
No problem you can tag @saboin anytime on Blurt or comment on one of his posts or comments like you did me.
Yes the final draft will be on Blurt for your consideration, here you can decide which items you are happy to support, but while fleshing it out will need input from team and witnesses, so may have to be a group effort in Discord first before goes to chain.
I just wanted to add something, I think it is great you were voting every user, you have, however more freedom to vote any content because you aren’t a core team representing Blurt. Imagine for example the Blurt Core bot votes every post and lands up voting hate speech, murder or child porn, we can unvote but our votes would have forever touched that content and author, so because of the position we are in we will get a lot of kickback and hate if we vote on low value or bad content, in many respects you have more freedoms to blanket vote all content.
Perhaps however there is a sweet spot in the middle we are yet to discover.
Yes, add a comment under each upvoted post:
this post has received automatic upvote from Blurt Core, if you see plagiarism, spam, blah, blah, blah please report it on discord or mentionl this account @blah under this post, we will remove upvote and blacklist author
Thanks for the suggestion, the idea of a comment under each post gave an idea to comment under each new author’s post and welcome them and let them know they will be eligible for blurtbooster votes in a X days if their content is suitable. This also creates something to aspire and build up to and a reason to keep developing ones blog for higher rewards to come.
