I'll pay you for your suggestion to fix boosts
In Minds Tokens of course
So, the increase in Token price didn't help and the 72 hour limit hasn't helped either. If you want to boost at the moment you basically need to use on chain tokens. The demand is too high for boosting and supply is too low, ie. too few people see posts compared to people boosts posts. Angrily spamming Minds staff in H&S wont help, saying "it's a scam" is both a lie and wont help either. Ideas do help, because ideas build on top of each other. So I want more people to pitch in on how we can overcome this hurdle, it's a community problem that needs a community solution. So here's the thing, I'll pay you to think up an idea. All you need to do is a) write a blog detailing your idea b) use the hashtag #ImproveBoosts and c) tag me in your blog post. I'll rate your post from 0-5 and you'll get the equivalent amount in tokens.
A little explanation on how I'll rate the posts:
0: You did not put in any effort and is either trolling or hoping to get some easy tokens, well, not today.
1: You have written out an idea that isn't fully fleshed out and or described too briefly to get an understanding of what it is. But if played with a bit more could show potential.
2: There is an idea here but I don't think it'll work all that well. I'll thank you for the time anyway because the fact that you took the time to come up with an idea means a lot. Your idea may not have resonated with me, but it may spark a new idea inside me or someone else.
3. I like the idea and I like the direction you are headed with the idea. It feels as if you may have rushed out the idea and haven't given it the full attention, it deserves and could have gotten.
4: You have made a detailed explanation on how the idea would be implemented, how it works and why it'll help. It goes without saying that I love the idea of course and think Minds would be better with it.
5. You have gone above and beyond in explanation and illustration of the idea. You have done it to such a great extent that it feels like it could be implemented just with the push of a button. I'll definitely make sure that Minds staff sees this idea by tagging them relentlessly.
Will this make a change in the grand scheme of things? Probably not. But I'm an eternal optimist and Minds apologist. I believe that the Minds staff listen to community feedback and in every decision Minds make, they try to keep in minds what's best for the community, otherwise what'd even be the point, right.
Do you want to get paid for your idea but don't yet have one? Here are 3 examples you can use as inspiration for your own idea:
Essentially a better version of p2p boosts by @LaPReptiles
A new type of boost feed, by me @Bunjaman
Please remind this so we can get as many people pitching in as possible. I like dreaming of what this site might become, but before we can go there we need to overcome the immediate struggles we face first. Boosts are an essential part of the Minds experience, it's Minds' USP, without it's just like twatter but with less people. Let's make our ideas grow on top of each other. Let them feed each other. Let's combine them to the point where we have the ULTIMATE solution completely readymade to make it irresistible to @Minds
Let's be the change!
