RE: Steem City: Content and future suburbs
Perhaps unfortunately in this case is, because Steem is quite representative of the real world economies, we will see the relative affluent and slum suburbs of content form
In recent weeks I have participated to a project which rewards “content”. I can tell you that the size of the ghettos is humongous. That huge that I even gave a witness vote again to a bot operator who actually maintains, and shares, an active blacklist.
I knew it was bad and that it would be worse than I thought even. But what I saw easily beat all my fears. And that mostly all for only $TU 0.3-0.6 then, but doesn’t matter if you have 26-30 accounts which all post same day, right.
The saddest part of it is that there is future potential yet, they sell themselves short now. I thnik many don't realise how large that ghetto is as even those who spend their time in the effluent that is Trending won't set foot in it.
You don’t see it until you accept content submissions “in exchange” for upvotes. That’s when the floodgates open.
Google Translate translation, content spinning tools, sentences in paragraphs changed in order to confuse plagiarism checkers, types added for the same exact reason.
And that all while the platform - yes, Steemhunt - allows literally pretty much any style and even hunts with just title, short description, and product image(s) if those alone explain the product.
Personally, I’ve had a blast writing my own hunts because there is absolute freedom allowed, no hunter is forced in a specific style/format. It’s been fun and those who want to try “another suburb” they merely need to look at my alt to see how fun “another style/format” can be.
