RE: Questions for Steemit Community RE: Charity
I think at the moment it is too easy to scam the platform so the big players are avoiding contributing to anything charitable. The other point is that this is designed as blogging platform and charitable posts are not what some people would consider good content. There is always the risk that if it is encouraged too much the site will just be flooded by people asking for money. I'm not sure what the solution is though.
Yeah, good thoughts on this. Perhaps @steemitcharity can help vett things for more confidence. The hard part is making sure the funds are going where they should. And it's a decent amount of work to follow up on such things, so asking someone to do it for Steemit voluntarily is a tough call too.
I've had mixed responses. One did really well. Another one running right now for hurricane relief is doing terrible. But I do have another article that's unrelated that's doing pretty decent.
Thanks for your insight.
I suspect some form official verification will probably be the best way to do this. I think maybe you could try doing a post on this subject? Even if the team don't see it could raise consciousness about it if put in the right way. I could take a look at it if you want and help if required. Just message me in the chat.
Also don't take my tone in the other thread to personally. I tend to come across more aggressively than I actual am. I just enjoy a good argument occasionally.
All the best:)
Thanks! I might take you up on that.
Great. Keep me posted:)
