This idea would only show the top ten promoted posts for each category you posted in. It wouldn't change much but the promoted tab would be taken off the first page and still left in its individual categories.
Why would we need to take it off the top of the first page?
A: Well to start there is a need to make the promotion worth something.
A: The currently solution don't work its broken and it needs fixing.
What changes would be made and how would this happen:
First: promoted tab on front page should be removed
Second: Trending, hot and new should all show top ten promoted
Third: Each category would keep its promoted tab then do seconds steps.
Third step would just show only that categories top 10 promoted
As for where these funds should go from this well there is some discussion about that.
But i currently really have no opinions what should be done with it.
Really interesting. I will be reading the next posts for more. Thanks @thedegensloth!
Np
Interesting idea...
Yeah just trying to brain storm more ideas.
I also think that the "Promoted" tab does not work.
I think promoted posts should be forced viewed by people.. It sound's annoying but who wouldn't like to see some posts that gives back value to his money? Or even maybe to be a setting so viewers can choose to watch or not random promoted posts and get back a curation reward for viewing (sharing from a daily pool for promoted content)...
Also the value of the promotion to give an amount of views.. eg 1$=100 views..
The views idea can botted to get people out of the way. Forcing them to see only one at a time on a page refresh or as they down scroll is not a bad idea tho.
NO!
Why no?
I'm curious myself.
