[Governance Poll Proposal] Encourage original content and discussion

Voting ended about 2 years agoSucceeded

The problem

Most of the posts in the sub have been from News outlets. From e.g. round 131, 46% (608 out of 1318) of all posts were from News outlets: r/ethtrader - [Governance Poll Proposal] Encourage original content and discussion

When compared with all of the other posts, one might think that "it still is a smaller percentage than the remaining posts", but the second place has 108 submissions, so the amount of "News" posts is around 6x higher than the second option.

In the same thinking, the top-3 earners in that round posted more News links when compared with other flairs.

This leaves no incentive to original content in the sub. Effectively, this has been making the sub a news links aggregator (which is not bad per se, but is discouraging serious discussion and original content). The solution(s)

To encourage original content, I propose the following:

Create an 'Original Content' (OC hereafter) flair, and posts under it will have 2x the score for DONUTs calculation;

Posts with the OC flair must have at least 500 words and essentially be a text post, which can of course have images, links to sources and such;

In no way will analysis of News links or other people's opinions ('Why JPMorgan is bad', etc) be considered Original Content;

Market analysis, technical analysis and such can be considered OC;

Comments in OC posts must have a minimum number of 500 characters with meaningful information, related to the post, as to encourage serious discussion;
