RE: How Is Steemit Different from Facebook and Reddit?

in #basictraining7 years ago

My problem with steemit so far witch i didn't see mentioned, is it empower s people to be more hateful and more discriminatory all just for the fact if i really wanted to take out a small 200k loan, dump it into steemit, and go around down voteing anybody i don't like either based on their race, skin color, even just a simple post if i don't like it, hell i could down vote them just because they have long hair, and there nothing stopping this kind of abuse, i have already seen it happen with a charity page for cancer patients, a user literally commented down vote cause think this is a scam, and that page received nothing from their post as a direct result, weather it was an actual charity page or not i do not know i did not do any real research into that matter i was just reading the page and they said they where down voted, and that's pretty much what is turning me and my friends away from steemit, and back to facebook. why would we come here when all it take is some guy with some money to come and ruin anything we try to do all over the fact of either i don't like you or your post or your race, or i can just throw more money than you at steemit than you ha ha look at me down vote. but those are just my thought on the matter, i never really see this being talked much about on steemit just the good side of it. and right now there seems to be more bad than good with steemit

My advice is to only put in what you can afford to lose. I do agree that some people abuse the system. Hope we can see through that and not believe every we see. But I do believe there's an opportunity for those who like writing content. Fb doesn't even pay a penny for your post. But I do respect your opinion.
