Proof of Social Value seems to be already happening as you say.

I naturally started curating based on this “idea” fairly recently.

I started to curate based on the context of who is a “good” stakeholder.

Obviously no one is going to be perfect when curating and who provides social value will always be up for interpretation. Who is a “good” stakeholder is always going to be up for interpretation.

But this difference in interpretation is where things get interesting. There is where the math and psychology within the Hive ecosystem converges.

I think PoB stopped being a thing well before I got here. I distinctly remember a lot of the people I met years ago would complain their content was “better” than the content that was getting the most upvotes.

If people have not been following PoB but people were told this chain was about PoB, I can see why it was frustrating for some people.
