RE: STEEM where is it going and WHY?
Thank you for your post and explaining your thoughts about Steem. I think what prevents Steem to do better is Flag wars and when this is removed or limited in the damages it can do, then more users will join and stay.
yes I agree @fbslo flagged me on this post as well as @sekhmet without an explanation and it can get me a little upset but I don't let it. I would like to see an explanation done before a flag even gets posted. These guys are witnesses and I would never vote for them because they give steemit a bad name. I see the purpose in stopping spam, however I'm not a spammer and want to see steem do very well.
Anyways have a great day. Steemit is still young :)
I downvote posts that hurt the Steem ecosystem. 97% of your rewards are not genuine, but bought from bots.
Rewards should go to the creators of value, not those who just buy votes stealing rewards from reward pool.
Stop blaming everything on the flags, and ask yourself how you are affecting the Steem ecosystem, by buying votes.
Buying bots is part of the system. It's called advertising. Building my platform. I don't hurt the system. It also gives a higher curation payout. I'm not blaming, I just want to see you flaggers have accountability and explain why you flag so people can improve. If this post is so bad why do I have 70 comments?
Thank you for replying
You do hurt the rest of the community by taking from the votes they get by hiring a bully to take rewards for you.
If the bidbots were just about advertising they would require that rewards be declined, and lower vote cost to what they wouldve gotten from curation.
This makes trending even more available to those that want to buy some visibility, and ends any impact on the rest of us.
But they dont, because they are bullies that take their profit no matter the cost to anybody else.
Any rewards not voted to you by the community violate the intent of the coin to reward 'good' content and to add value to the blockchain by being a source of crowdsourced curated 'good' content.
If you want to advertise get out and be social, word of mouth is all the ads a great product needs.
Good point, I do enjoy the social part of steemit as well.
thx for your input
You realise, that curation payout goes mostly to the bots anyway.
In current state the entire platform is controlled by bots. Most rewards are taken by bots. People no longer upvote valuable content, because everyone delegated to bots. The only way to be seen is to give money to bots.
It's not the platform for creators of value. It's not platform for regular users, that can support creators. It's platform for bot owners, that promote everything as long as you pay them.
I will stop flagging posts with 90%+ of their rewards artificially created by bots when Steemit changes their motto to:
I see what what saying. And i do agree the bot thing is crazy. I got to do my homework more. This is not easy to figure out. I'm sure they will change things one day. I found it funny that the same guy who flagged me has another bot that upvoted me.
Thx again for your input Hey looks like.....
