RE: Charles Wayn (DLive): Can our true value be recognised on the STEEM blockchain?
Another thought that I just had ...
"This creates an ecosystem where a content’s true value can’t be recognized or be fairly rewarded."
I would say that on Steemit, relationship is as important as the quality of the content. We form relationships here, and tend to vote regularly for those people that we have a relationship with!
For example, I have seen some of my favorite YouTubers come on here and post their videos on Steemit, BUT they do not engage anybody in the comment section or upvote anybody else. If I see that is the case, then I don't vote for them on here, or just throw them a low % vote on occasion. I will continue to watch their YouTube videos over there if I like their content, but I save my limited Steemit upvotes for people who engage other people on this platform.
My point is, that their content may be spectacular, and it may be something that I greatly enjoy, but I still limit my upvotes if they don't spend more time on Steemit beyond the time it takes to simply make the post.
There were also instances of people gaming dlive by faking live views to show up on the front page.
Wonder if they took that into account? Is it fair to do that?
People will always game the system. Stake weighting is the best answer we have for now in regard to beating these Sybil based ways to game the system.
Is getting whale support on steem any different from a Twitch user that gets a $1000 donation in terms of “fairness”?
In my opinion not really.
True. Not much difference there.
Wasn't aware of the dlive faked stuff, and yep, doesn't surprise me they didn't mention that!
In my mind view count seems like it could help with this situation and I am unclear why it is not already part of the equation?
I have to say I fully agree.
No question about it... relationships are key and if people upload or post without engaging, they are not as deserving as those who do. No matter how great their content may be.
Slightly off topic here but I must tell you that I spotted the staircase your husband built yesterday! It was in the movie Skyscraper with 'The Rock'... I recognised it instantly and smiled :)
It looked fantastic by the way!
Ah, thanks! Yes, we liked the movie although for some reason it got poor reviews.
I'm glad that you spotted it.
hey mem..are you like so much to seeing movies???
