RE: ONO Platform a serious contender to take on Steemit
Like we've discussed elsewhere, we'll have to see how this plays out in reality. Rather than being a problem for steemit, I'd see this as part of a cross-platform strategy that, if properly developed, could help content creators get a bit more for their work. You could use your ONO and steemit accounts to drive traffic towards each other, if nothing else. If this works as described, I imagine quite a few people will share expired content on ONO, then drop links to it in a comment below the original post "Like this post but can't upvote it? Well here's what you do..."
It will pay to look at what each system has that the other does not. If curation rewards are better here, then this gives you a way to encourage ONO users to create steem accounts (not that I'm saying it is - this was just an example). If content is evergreen on ONO, it gives you a reason to create an ONO account.
What I can't stress enough is that it isn't a zero-sum game. Upvoting something here doesn't stop you from doing the same on ONO, and vice versa.
Sounds like it will operate more like a FB operation with likes and dislikes. I read quite a bit of the white paper but not sure I understood it all. My impression was that fifty percent will go to operational functions with the other fifty percent into distribution of rewards. I am not sure this site does it or not because I've never powered down to withdrawal but they will charge a withdrawal fee that I think, if I read it right will be around twenty percent. Then there is converting yuan to US dollars and the value between those two. What I liked was it said sharing of headlines and news....which is something I am big into on another blog, so if that turns out to be correct it could be a good site for me. I sent in to join but will have to wait and see what that outcome will be. Another thing is they are all Asian and on this site at least some of these Asian guys can be hard to get along with, I don't think they like opinionated women.
I'd love to go over specifics with you, because my understanding of this is quite different to yours.
I know the CEO is a woman she listed right at the top. I am also the type of person who doesn't tend to take crap from anybody either. Maybe she needed to respond because your next line of "there is a lot of incentive for people to play nice, including avoiding attention from the super partners (of whom I lam one) who have the ability to hid content" smacks of the same stuff that goes on here with using flagging as censorship" Who really would want to join another site with comments full of I love your post, that was such a interesting read, can't wait to see what you write tomorrow, you are such a inspiration....even if the information presented isn't accurate, they don't care they just want the money and those dealing out the money only want comments that agree with everything said.
Are they going to allow posting of main stream media news for discussion and debate?....that's my strong point as a blogger, and I have a very high trusted users reputation status doing such on Disqus, a big part of that is we all openly debate, agree to disagree and come back another day and see if we come together on something, outside of trolls who cause problems nobody gets censored for their views.
Ok, so I deserve to get smacked down for stating the obvious about Ke Xu.
I certainly won’t be censoring anyone for their views. Yes, it is a hybrid blend of centralised and decentralised approaches. But the super partners are elected democratically by the all ONO members - one account = one vote, and their decisions can be challenged via similar mechanisms. Is it going to be perfect? No. But the decision of what get’s hidden ultimately rests with the people.
Nor do I expect it to be free of debate and solely people pretending to like each other for upvotes. If people didn’t do that here, it won’t be like that anywhere. The censorship question is one that the super partners have discussed frequently already. I don’t intend to limit anyone’s ability to put their political and ideological views forward, so long as they do not cause undue harm to others. Given my background in philosophy, you know that I’m a big fan of people being able to disagree, but still be civil about it. That’s what I want to encourage. If people don’t like it, they can vote me out in October.
100% true. I can see each system having good points and bad points. The next 12-18months are going to be a massive learning curve on the systems, the games and how to play everything off each other.
Then evenually when @dan creates his Steemit 2.0 it'll all change again.
