RE: STEEM has no future if it does not preserve its fundamental source of value: 100% human curation

in #steem7 years ago

That's like showing a red bandana to an already pissed off bull. Yeah. I think that all of that pay for resteem and pay for votes is going to kill the platform.

Sort:  

math is hard...if you DO the math you find that the only one who makes money is the people who provide the 'service'

Exactly. It transforms the platform into a vanity press service. Authors bid against each other for visibility. The only people who win are the bot service providers. People think that this will increase the value of STEEM, but they forget that if the platform sucks for both authors and readers, both will go elsewhere.

like they say in Wyoming about their winters
'keeps the riff raff out'

The riff raff aren't stupid. They are all in California.

it's snowing...right now...in wyoming.

Was bicycling at the beach this afternoon. Very windy and cold, although partly sunny. Sand was blowing hard. People were using parafoil kites to ride skateboard sized boards on the ocean.

that sounds like fun
(for someone in better physical condition than I am)
were there any foilers?
(hydro foil...not parafoil)

No. The Pacific Ocean is too choppy for any consumer-sized hydrofoil to be any fun. The swells are normally about four feet, so ocean boating is a rough, up and down, "I'm seasick" experience. The closest I can think of is catamarans, but those aren't really used on the ocean much, for the same reason.

I like spending time at the beach because it brings memories of my childhood back. No sane person would voluntarily have chosen to spent this afternoon at the beach in San Francisco, unless to watch the people using the kites to surf.

for one thing...un-follow folks who re-steem too much...and my threshold is LOW.
