RE: DTube 0.2: Faster to serve videos, Stronger to resist censorship
Fighting wars over which content gets exposure is the exact situation i am afraid of:
Since both left leaning and right leaning groups can negate rewards, you are left with neutral white-washed content, no?
We are left with non-political content making all the money. Perfectly fine by my standards.
The STEEM blockchain will always print a certain amount of currency everyday. When you downvote someone for a full $, you literally give cents to all other authors in the trending, who legitimatly are better in your eyes.
It will be a problem for any content that is controversial, not necessarily just political content.
I'm only proposing we need to carve out a space for controversial content. If the masses of users don't see it unless they look for it (like on reddit), then this incentives the maximum amount of people to buy steem.
The alternative, is content contrary to the dominating ideology will be censored and people who want to support such content will be discouraged since their upvotes will be negated by larger accounts.
Ah you are comparing it to how reddit recently filtered some subs from appearing on the front page of the internet. Yes something like that could be possible, like making a greylist of tags like #nsfw, #gore, etc. Maybe logged in users should be able to setup their list of blocked tags though.
I thought it would be an opt in for the poster, something like:
The only way to censor content in a private tag would be if all witnesses decide to not write content from a certain private tag to the block-chain. So you would need 95% of the community to think the content is obscene rather than one person with an agenda before the content is banned.
Expanding on the idea: you could allow people to register, own, moderate, and collect the curation rewards from their owned private tags.
Without a hard-fork to implement private sub-reddit style tags, I suppose an option to not to have your content show on trending, and hope agenda driven down-voters don't bother you would be nice.
I am more than brilliant thanks for participating You really deserve success and I want to be like you and be happy if you followed me and I loved my publications love you
me too
Fuck your standards you fucking tool.... Time for a new video platform it seems.....
No No No, Controversy has value, if you seperate them everything will fall flat.
Good morning DonaldTrumpFan and anyone who reads this comment.
This is my very first interaction with Steemit since joining a few days ago. I couldn't resist this opportunity to add my voice to this crucial topic.
I despise Facebook, YouTube and Twitter because, more and more, they are used as tools to censor views that they deem unacceptable; particularly views that are labeled as: "conservative" or "right leaning" or "hate speech" or "politically incorrect" or islamophobic" or "homophobic" or "racist" or "anti-semitic" or "white-supremacist" or xenophobic" etc.
Let me be clear. There should be no safe haven for anyone that advocates treason and sedition against the United States whether they are American citizens or not. Videos supporting, depicting pornography and coaching viewers on how to do pornography or child molestation or rape or bomb making (you see where I am going with this). Why? Because these actions are against natural law not to mention the Law.
So, DonaldTrumpFan, I share your concerns and position on this matter of censorship.
I will say more in my introduction post on Steemit and in my Dtube posts and video uploads.
