Yes it does but not necessarily the rewards
I was very happy to see my post making it to the Peakd Daily Top Award, after all the amount of effort that was put to make that post with that long video along with so many photos was way above my average post. Being not a video content creator, I am not pro in editing all clips and making a final cut but whatever I was able to was much appreciated by the viewers, who keep me telling on my face. You can imagine, how it feels like when someone appreciates you physically as a content consumer, when I am walking around the society. This post was shared to our society community over whatsapp, and was well appreciated by many there as well. People who are living in other cities, but earlier stayed here and are missing their friends, enjoyed the post, refreshing their memory.
Looking at other posts that made to the Peakd Daily Top category, they are rewarded much better than my post, but I guess, those votes are more based on content and not views alone. When it comes to content again length is another aspect that many curators consider for auto voting, but my post was having more visual content, and that could be the reason, it would not have made to those curator's list.
So the question is should we have curation based on views ?
In my opinion we should have curation based on views after 48 hours, because that is when we see how many unique visits have been made. Of course content would be the main criteria, but views or audience matter, to attract people to this chain. That is the reason, I do a little marketing of hive by putting google reviews and using my post for details and giving only few photos as teaser. Same goes with youtube videos, I circle them back with the hive post, because we can edit the description afterwards.
One other trick I think I am going to include is that include my sign up referral link with 10-20 hive (would 20 good enough ?) reward to start them instantly. Especially those posts which are shared with groups or or as part of google reviews, youtube videos are good place to have such sign up links. Having a sign up link inside a post would tease more than someone trying to find how to do that. WE can also be an OCD's onboarder and get beneficiary rewards from the users we invite, you can always find more details about it in ocd's onboarding program compilation posts. We all are marketing for hive and I think, if thousands of us do the same, then it will have some tremendous results.
What's your opinion on curation based on views ?
By the way, we all bid adieu to Goddess Durga and this time we did celebrate it with some bengali tradition, more to come on that....
