RE: Steemit necessary changes

in #steem6 years ago

"BOTS are FIRST thing that I would CHANGE."

How? Or are you just navel gazing into a fake utopia?

"I WOULD SPLIT UPVOTING POWER IN TWO SEPARATE PARTS"

I more or less suggested this, but the problem you get is that it does nothing to stop vote trading/vote rings. They just vote each other for their "other" stake.

But, it would help reward generous voters who don't participate in such methods.

Sort:  

Bots can only be changed by self regulation. In their interest is also that Steemit is successful and with better content Steemit will be better. Two separate voting is not perfect but is better then current situation. If we all together improve and act less selfish then we would have much better Steemit. I am fully upvoting every good post, some of them are yours, and I don't care if I am gonna have less voting power for me. But truth is that lot of people are not like that...

I don't see it, why is two votes better than 1 vote? It's not, it's only another hoop that the people intent on exploiting it will inevitably go through by upvoting in between themselves like @lexiconical said. It then makes everything more complicated and gives more obscure places for people to hide in and abuse.

Some of them will manipulate for sure but not all will do that. It is not perfect and nothing can be perfect bit I think that is at least little bit better than now.

It's not, it's more complicated, therefore that's no benefit, then it doesn't solve what it sets out to solve or improve considerably on what it set out to improve so as to justify the change, and in doing that it creates only more crevices and nuances and therefore more possibility for abuse, which a lot of little abuses is the same as a few big ones but a lot of little ones makes abuse look much worse than compared to a few big ones.

Dwinblood made a nice gesture, which should be extended to everyone and it's a shame that it's not obvious enough: try to put yourself in the abusers' shoes so you can evaluate your proposal.

Opinios can be different and maybe you are right and I am wrong. What is your opinion how we can improve Steemit?

Steemit is a private company, you mean Steem. Steem is improved by little things or huge things, which usually are a lot of little things in disguise. The best one would be to have some integrity in what you believe in and how you act, which means that good intentions aren't ok if it goes against what you believe. If you believe bots are a problem then mean that with your actions. There's no end to hypocrites that complain about being forced to use bots. They are an option that is there, they aren't forced upon any in any way. They delude themselves to believe that earning upvotes should be effortless and not gruelling and getting engagement should always be positive and agreeable. Everything comes in time, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find.
