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.
