Thanks for your comment! I think the relationship between time investment and reward is totally different from short term to long term content. If somebody writes a snap and gets 10 cents for it, he will be quite happy. If he gets 20 cents for a 500 word post, I don't think it would be the case. Supporting the snap container is a good way to go and I believe spending some voting power on the snaps directly is also a good idea :-)
Not very sustainable :)
Totally agree on that. What was nice was the interaction and it was definitely encouraged by the tips. I believe that on hive we have a much better system. If some value goes into these snaps I think we have a very sustainable solution that offers quite nice rewards for people using it.
