Let's talk about the voting system.

Honestly, I think the voting system needs a revamp. I love the money system, however I dislike that if I'm at 20-30+ upvotes, a post, posted at the exact same time as mine with 2 upvotes, but more money, is instantly in front of mine on the frontpage. Shouldn't the post with the more upvotes be further up in the frontpage than a post with more money?

The same people (whales) and the same type of posts always tend to make it to the frontpage, I suggest we change that.

Really that's my only issue, I think votes should have more merit in having it show up on the frontpage :)

Sort:  

If this were the case people would farm accounts to make all their posts trending.

I wish there was a content reward for non-viral quality content, for instance a topical short post can make a lot of money/upvotes being seen by a lot of people in a short time but it would be cool if a more niched evergreen type post the kind that draws in search traffic slowly but forever could also be rewarded not the same massive payouts but something. Or maybe in due time people will just upvote old stuff when they come across it organically, I don't know.

I'm honestly not sure how to solve this, but I agree, yeah.
