RE: A Review of Ecency Boost+

in FreeCompliments2 years ago

Thanks for doing the math!

The former post boost feature was mainly to automate what used to be the manual process of posting the links on discord.

There's a lot of downvotes due to the misconception. But bc of Ecency having a mobile app with a beautiful UI/UX, I don't think this big exodus would happen any time soon.

A lot of us who aren't aware of the boosting feature at first are here for the user experience. Some may use automations for upvotes and voting trails, but Ecency only give points to those who manually grind and use the app.

I also wish they can come up with a better reward to this grind than just merely delegating HPs. It's like grinding to grind more, which in the end feels pointless.

No problem. The Boost feature was nice for people who were just getting started.

Without a Boost-esque feature, I agree with you that there likely wouldn't be a large exodus. With the feature, however, Ecency then loses the major competitive advantage of its app.

The delegating never really appealed to me. I can use Hive Vote to help me automate some of my curation towards the people I regularly follow. Being paid in Hive and points doesn't really appeal considering there's no good use case now for the points.
