RE: 😨 Are You Scared Of UPVU Yet?
Just repliedd to the developer, here.
Let me know if you start up with the plagiarism again, and I'll send a delegation back. I understand your reluctance. It's hard work without much reward, and people don't have much tolerance for the inevitable errors.
Aside from going back to the rewards algorithm, the only other way I can imagine it being sustainable is through a LifeLock style subscription service where content producers elsewhere on the Internet pay to have their content protected. That would be a major undertaking, though.
Those that have done it will echo that. In time, you mostly detach yourself from the emotion (although sometimes, somebody gets a bit of "special" treatment). Perhaps strangely, when it comes from the @endingplagiarism account, the warnings are accepted more than when they come from this account. Perhaps the other account appears more "official" but it's the same person behind it. When I do get it wrong (like you say, it's inevitable), most people have been ok with it. I'm very careful to be sure of the evidence before warning people though because I don't want to accuse somebody of something they haven't done. Often contacting them via another social media. I'm rambling. It's a hard job to get right and thanks for the offer 🙂 I think that the downvoting curation trail was a great addition and it's a shame that this wasn't offered to the original @endingplagiarism account.
The cases of identity theft on Steemit have increased a lot - often somebody who posts on Hive is copied here and sometimes vice versa. They'll always find a way to cheat.
Hopefully you'll get a positive response from the developer. He seems like a decent lad although busy so I don't know what you can expect 🙂
