RE: Account Flagged to Zero - Why I Have Zero Motivation to Keep Putting my Time, Effort and Money into Steem

in #newsteem5 years ago

When people are saying that trending is looking clean, they mean the posts with a single picture (probably copied from somewhere) and 2 words are gone.

95% of posts are garbage? Eh, that's probably true. 95% of posts on facebook, twitter, linkedin, newspapers, magazines, and everything else are garbage too. 95% of songs are garbage. 95% of any kind of work that people produce are garbage.

You have to separate the wheat from the chaff.

The great thing about human creativity is that the things that ARE good can be really good.

As far as your haejin downvotes go, well STEEM distribution is too broken to save in my opinion. Long live tribes.

What is different about tribe token distribution that makes them not susceptible to this same, petty bullshit?

I tag my posts with #steemleo, but haven't ever properly delved into them too deeply.

3 things make tribes different:

1, There are whales, but the distributions are not anywhere near as extreme as we see in STEEM.

2, The price of a user buying a large enough percentage of the float to reach any desired level of influence isn't that high. You can buy your way into a LEO whale for 2-3k USD.

3, If whales (or anyone else) start acting like jackasses, they can be muted. Some people don't like this part since it isn't completely decentralized. But the tribes are not a free-for-all. The tribe moderators can tell you to get off their lawn.
