RE: WEB LOG // You know what bothers me? // RESTEEMS!
Resteems didn't bother me that much in the beginning since I stopped following competition accounts but its really starting to become annoying when you follow someone and they say in the dTUbe community and they resteem all their dTube friends which you're really not interested in. Like I get you want to support them but I dont care lol
The only social media site I found that did sharing correctly was google+ since you could create communities, interest groups or literally pick out individual users you want to share to their feeds which was really cool. If any of the steem dApps could do that it would be really an improvement on the user experience and remove a lot of frustration
I think Steemit is starting to slowly get that resteems are a little out of hand, because they recently added the "Hide resteems" button to the profile pages which has been helpful to me at least. I've found so many people who have only written like a few posts and their feed is just full of resteems. In my eyes this is not a person to follow (although those users usually have a lot of followers... lol).
I don't think people will start resteeming less, but another good option would be to add the same "Hide resteems" button to the /feed page, so I can enjoy original content in my feed and from the people I follow.
Then again.. the resteeming would get kind of pointless, because everyone would be using that button I assume. Therego to stop resteeming all the nonsense would be better option so the resteems of good content wouldn't go to waste with the button. :D
