RE: The Ethics of the Great Steemit Experiment
steemit is good but it has along way to go. Something needs to be done about whales. And the rewards has made it so people are here to make money. More people dont read post just upvote for rewards. considering Dan Larimer plans on making a new steemit on eos , steemit could be in trouble. Once i found out about upvote bots i lost alot of faith in steemit, its almost like a ponzi scheme and the reputation system doesnt work. so many people writing quality content going completely unnoticed and so many people just posting anything and making alot because they have a high rep. What is the point in the rep? as it has nothing to do with quality of posts. Also as you said there is no point in having 3 currencies , just confuses new people.
So many problems lets hope they work it out before people move to the next best thing
I am really curious about Dan's project, especially since he seems a bit spiteful about it. It will be worth a look if he makes it his baby.
I think they really missed an opportunity to not leverage reputation more in the curation calculation. Hopefully this comes up in the next hardfork. There definitely needs to be some more transparency with how the curation system functions.
yeah ill well be keeping an eye on it. If eos steemit does get release i can see most uses moving over as it will most likely have solved steemits problems and since only a few have all the power there is no real incentive to say for most. i do hope steem can solve its problems and work out tho.
