RE: Do you think this user's voting pattern is good for Steem?
I agree that Steemit should get viral , i agree it is hard to set boundaries and there will be always people who take shortcuts. However, i totally disagree that we can do nothing about, that's why we have forks , platform is evolving. Take as example reddit, they have many rules that don't suit casual users. They call it a platform for arrogant techies , but ot got viral and reddit found its own community that comply with those rules. Steemit should also be unique, fair and with its own laws. You want to earn ? Follow the rules.
Very interesting points. One question? What rules?
And steemit could establish a bunch of rules, as a centralized entity, yet people can just use busy.org which is a totally different site to access the same information. That is the beauty of the blockchain, and from the perspective you are bringing up, the negative.
Other than calling @greenman out, is there anything that can be done about that. We dont have moderators around here...there arent admin. Reddit has all that. In fact, is what he is doing "wrong"? Transisto brought up the point that he thinks it is careless redistribution and could attract others just looking to game the system. However, notice he didnt call for a ban, boycott, or any retribution. I sense he is bringing this point up for discussion and awareness.
Steemit is at a point where people need to decide what we want to make this place. There is a risk, since money is involved, that people are going to do things simply to profit without any thought of anyone or anything else. I guess those people will always exist. However, what does the average person on here want....what is he or she thinking about in terms of individual long term contribution?
That is what I sense is being raised by this article.
Not all rules are written :) If the system does not fine spammers, it does not mean society cannot. I have mentioned before, Steemit is evolving, maybe there will be content moderators in the future , who knows. And yes because it is decentralized users can raise issues and that might influence development of the platform in the future.
