RE: Introducing UserAuthority (UA), @steem-ua and UA-API !
Personally, I already consider it much better than, like, anything else in the ecosystem (SP, reputation, etc).
But nothing's perfect, even Google and Youtube witnessed shortcuts and exploitations at one point.
For them, user satisfaction with the accuracy of results was the major driving factor, and I'd imagine this is what Steem needs, too.
That when I go to /r/cryptocurrency, or in fact, any blockchain-related community, I don't have to hear people shitting on Steem and how trashy its content is.
That when I go to Trending, I don't have to scrool through 42 pages of marketing garbage or cliché garbage before finding ONE interesting post.
I don't give a fuck about the satisfaction of high-UA accounts. I just want quality improvement and less circlejerk.
