# proofofbrain.io brings to light the potential need for ‘classification curators’ <br/> https://wiewiorkeprojects.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/0800_001-2.jpg <br/> ## thinking out loud Just thinking out loud here, so please consider this a discussion-starter rather than any sort of solid theorizing on my part. I had a brief discord dialogue last night / this morning with @proofofbrainio wherein we briefly discussed the appearance of ‘spam’ on [proofofbrain.io](proofofbrain.io). # wanted or unwanted? Reflecting upon that conversation led me to the following observations: * What some folks consider ‘spam’ or ‘unwanted’ others will consider ‘wanted’. This is the essence of ‘art’ and also, to some extent, underpins the concept of ‘community’ (we form social bonds with people who share our values, tastes, preferences, etc.). * This means the concept of an ‘upvote’ is really only relevant within the context of ‘people who enjoy and like the things I enjoy and like’. Personal tastes in music is an obvious example, but the *affinity* basis of upvoting undoubtedly holds across a very broad spectrum, whether stylistic, philosophical, political, etc. # your stuff is crap, but my crap is stuff What if we created a new (supplemental) rewards protocol that encouraged human curators to expend a portion of their brainpower solving what I call the “George Carlin dilemma.” I am referring to a classic comedy sketch by George Carlin wherein he reiterates in various ways the notion that “Your stuff is crap, but my crap is stuff.” What if we segmented the curation-rewards pool into two parts: * Affinity curation * Classification curation Under this system, a portion of the curation rewards would continue just as they currently are, but a separate portion of the rewards would go to those who do a good job of classifying each post. Classifying posts would be a useful and helpful activity that will ultimately make the user experience better for everyone. ## organic formation and expansion of affinity groups Another benefit would be that the ‘classification curators’ will help new users organically find or even create their own ‘affinity groups’. For example, a random new user comes to Hive and begins publishing posts. The ‘classification curators’ independently, yet collectively, recognize that those posts are highly relevant to the [*Liberty & Freedom*](https://peakd.com/c/hive-151771/created) community, thus alerting the moderators for *Liberty & Freedom* to reach out to that new Hive user and invite him/her to subscribe to and post to *Liberty & Freedom*. Or, such classification efforts might lead to the creation of new communities or tribes to fill a niche that doesn’t currently exist. ## feedback and dialogue requested I sense that I am just scratching the surface here. I have other thoughts and may do a follow-up post later. In the meantime, feel free to reply and comment. Or, if this discussion spurs you to create a follow-on post, please do so and reference it via a reply here. --- <center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@trostparadox/proofofbrain-io-brings-to-light-the-potential-need-for-classification-curators)</sub></center>

Classification curators is a good idea, since most categories are full of content that does not belong to the category. For Affinity curation, with the help of the classification curation, there could be a vote count in each category, hence showing more content from the category that the person liked more and perhaps recommending communities with the same categories...

You do make a good point in regards to crap. Quite often we'll stumble across something that's rewarded highly and think it's crap, or overvalued. Yet someone thought it was worth it for some reason. Many sites have similar problems. Take Ebay. There are tons of things that are either intentionally or not, miscategorized. Ebay doesn't have an option to report something miscategorized. Sometimes when something is in the wrong category and I'm annoyed enough, I'll actually message the seller to tell them. This happens most often when I see something labeled to be in my size, that isn't. If I mistakenly bought it, that would be a big mistake, so I message them. The way Hive currently works, you have to post in a community, and if you post in a community, you have to repost it to your blog. Honestly, it's really dumb. Posting in various communities can mean you get a lot higher upvotes. Posting in no communities may mean you get next to no curation. What if you wanted to post in multiple communities? It just doesn't work. I think the communities need a rethink, which may be difficult since we're working on a blockchain. What you bring up has an interesting point. I'm not sure if there is enough categorization that needs to be done for it to be highly rewarding, but those that do it should be rewarded, and I have a feeling it is necessary.

>I'm not sure if there is enough categorization that needs to be done for it to be highly rewarding, but those that do it should be rewarded, and I have a feeling it is necessary. The more proofofbrain.io becomes popular, the more this need will escalate. I'm not sure the best way to incentivize 'classification curators' or the best user interface to facilitate that, but the need will likely grow with time.
