RE: People, please beware of censorship on DTube

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)

Actually, this is a feature I added, that hides the cover picture for articles that have negative r_shares. Basically this cover was hidden as NSFW because the downvotes outweighted the upvotes. I do this to protect stupid stuff from being displayed on dtube, this way the community (aka whales) can easily control a bad content and downvote the hell out of it to hide it.

I don't believe this is censorship, anyone can have the option to 'activate nsfw fully' in the settings.

Sort:  

As long as the users/community chooses what is shown this is democracy and I respect that. But please have a look at the users who upvoted my post/video:
https://steemit.com/@steemitboard/transfers
https://steemit.com/@andreyson/transfers

versus the only one who downvoted it:
https://steemit.com/@werbo/transfers

Maybe I am a Steem noob (I am pretty new so please forgive me if I'm wrong) but as I understand users with the most SteemPower weights the most. As I can see the users who upvoted have far more power than the one who downvoted.

Is r_shares different? And how does it work?

Also I tried to disable the hiding of NSFW videos in the settings but when I refresh the page it went back to the "Hide picture" setting, so I think there is a bug there.

It also depends on the % people vote with. People with more than 500 SP or so have a slider to choose their voting power. In dtube you can also change your voting % in the settings.

Ah great thank you. What is the reason voting for example only with 50% instead of 100%? Can I loose money voting with 100% all the time?

''features I added''.. .... I thought we'll be getting a censorship free platform but you're just becoming a second youtube... What happened ? Did mossad approach you?

In fact a quite good idea. But what about people just BUY a shitload of steempower? If they really earn it with quality content there is nothing wrong.
