RE: Mini Pool Meeting | Hanging with some Whales | Why Steemit Needs to Become More Content Focused
People will do anything and everything for personal gain, so long as they are not ostracized for it. I Think of steemit as the wild west, there is little accountability and even less incentive to play fair, so why would you? Calling people on their bullshit is usually the best way to get them to stop, no pressure like peer pressure. Long term this is the force that brings people into line an probably sorts out the issues you presented in your video. It is also the force that brings about PC speech, safe spaces, and YouTube's adpocalypse, so pick your poison.
Hey @cslaw I agree with you and withthe comment about peer pressure, I think Reddit does a really good job at that. You try posting like an advertisement/spam and your quick to get slapped down on there.
Something I was questioning the other day is if money corrupts everything. I know on Reddit for example people get hungup on Karma points and play games to get them but at the end of the day it's fake internet points, here on Steemit we have real money so I was trying to figure out exactly how that shapes peoples behavior
