I totally agree, 11 % is too high if your post is not curated by 3speak. In Kerala for that, we say like "pichha chattill ki ittu varuka".
That's not all, the interface of 3speak sucks (post preview has zero logic, I don't even know how to upload images using the 3speak interface, and overall congested feeling while using it), file size limitations and encoding failure are also annoying (you will lose everything that you wrote).
I would say that, they should reduce it to 1-5% max. So that those people who don't get curated by 3speak won't get affected.

3speak if you are seeing this please make some logic in the writing section. Who wants to see the thumbnail of the video, while writing their blogs. Instead, place the video on top and provide a post preview on the right side like peakd and ecency.

Sort:  

As long as you are pulling in some views, the threespeak account does a really good job of curating usually. I'd say that 9/10 of my videos end up getting a chunky vote from that account. That alone balances out the high 11% usually since they are giving it right back by way of vote.

A temporary solution for any of the upload issues you have is to format your post on PeakD and then just copy and paste all of it into the video description as you are uploading it. Saving to your drafts on PeakD is also a great way to make sure that you never lose your post if encoding fails.

After seeing some of the comments today, it seems that the 11% is justified and going towards making sure 3Speak is a success. I'd say that once HIVE and SPK go big, these small percentages can probably be reduced even more. The thing to keep in mind is that many of us being rewarded on Hive and 3Speak most likely wouldn't earn on any of the legacy Web2 social media. Even if we somehow managed to find success, there are so many rules there. We have it better here.

I thank you for your valuable input though.

I feel sorry for saying like that before, after reading the comments. I think they will have their reasons for fixing it at 11%.
