RE: Steemit Community : Circle Jerking and the Devil Within
While I do hate the circle jerks that go on and something needs to be done about it, the problem lies with the autovoters, those are the true culprits. They select a few(or many) authors and auto vote to cash in on the curation rewards. this is a big problem.
In regards to the flagging that is going on, I had a post flagged today by @steemcleaners. The post was about a new crypto exchange and because i had my referral link in the post @steemcleaners flagged it for $25 in potential rewards. For a whale $25 is nothing but for small steemians like myself that $25 just makes me angry and pissed off about this fucking platform and what is happening.
I personally feel auto voting is useful when one (genuine really busy writer) does not have enough time to skim through every good content; and not mere bots (that has no content at all).
It is at the end depending on how that person is using / misusing the system. All about the heart of the human. The system can only be built / destroyed by humans (who initiated it) themselves.
How are you doing @jasonshick ?
I should rephrase. People that solely use autovoters just to take advantage of popular authors curation rewards are the problem. If you truly enjoy reading an authors stuff but don't have the time, then sure a small percentage autovote is no problem. It's the people that just vote on every post some top whales produce that ruins it for the rest of us.
Things are going well with me, thanks for asking Jesicca. Hows your group doing?
I know what you mean, flags scares us, especially when it is reputation and money at stake. Circle jerking is almost inevitable for minnows when they want to survive. It is not always that good contents get noticed and upvoted. So, to survive minnows may have to resort to this festival.
