RE: Thoughts about authenticity on the Steem blockchain - Volume #2: Measurement

in #steemexclusivelast year

I came to this conclusion not because plagiarism often happens to me. In fact, you and I live in a certain bubble. We spend almost 100% of our time in well-moderated communities we know. There is practically no plagiarism among the posts we find here. However, the Steem blockchain is much more than that. There are a lot of users who post unoriginal content outside of communities every day in order to get guaranteed upvotes. In addition, there are a number of applications that use blockchain to publish various content. For example, if you look at what is being published with the tag #iweb3, you will see many short posts. These are tweets that are duplicated by the Wormhole3 service in the blockchain for the purpose of receiving rewards. There are many such examples.

Therefore, I think that the proportion of moderated content written for readers is small. But I see no reason to give up. Quality decides many things. If we are talking about readers, it is unlikely that any of them will ever find a duplicate tweet from a search engine. The reader is most likely to find a post written by a real person for a real reader.

I believe that we should improve what we can improve without getting distracted by what we cannot change. There will be a chance to change something more, it is worth using it. So step by step we will be able to move forward.
