Most often than not, contents that requires a lot of thinking and effort to create are supposed to be rewarded decently. <\/p>\n<p>While one could say that asking a question requires some kind of \"thinking\", the issue lies on the perceived payout value of a content like that.<\/p>\n<p>Just picture a scenario where one account is being <strong>auto-upvoted<\/strong> by an orca\/whale with an upvote of around $25. If that account starts asking googleable questions like <strong>What is Blockchain?<\/strong> or <strong>What is Steem? <\/strong><em>Do you think it is fair that contents like that be rewarded $25?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Which is why I believe to somehow limit this kind of abuse in here, Musing decided to only make this option on \"Answers\" as there are only a very few upvote services that works on contents posted as a comment or reply.<\/p>\n<p>In theory they could still abuse the system by answering about any questions in here to get their guaranteed $25+ payout but at least <strong>they will now be forced to answer the question<\/strong>. If we took the two question above as an example, the likely scenario that would happen is: They will answer the question based on their own words and experience (which would be somewhat acceptable) or they will copy-paste a content from Google, which would give us the legit reason to flag their content. I guess it's a win-win for both side XD<\/p>","appCategory":"steemit","app":"musing\/1.1","appParentAuthor":"mauricioflores","musingPostType":"answer","appTitle":"Why is that my questions on musing.io do not appear on my steemit blog, but when I answer one I see a button for this option?","musingAppVersion":"1.1"}" |
