RE: Fuck YouTube! Long Live Steemit! Long Live DTube!

in #nsfw7 years ago (edited)

If a billionaire buys millions of Steem the price will rise and we will all be more powerful to counter his downvotes. But you are right, this remains a problem until we improve the code. And we WILL improve the code. It is just not important right now. Hardfork 20 will bring mass market adoption features like easier account creation. But the flagging system will not continue like this forever, I think.

Sort:  

The flagging system is fine. All it does is place us in a situation where you have to put your money where your mouth is. The wild west will have problems but most people who are politically correct are total dumb asses who will have almost no power here. They are grow dumber every day while they jack themselves off in echo chambers and safe spaces.

TJ wont have the kind of content that angers whales here because most whales don't care about this kind of stuff. The early adopter content creators will be the main people who will be the strongest and have the most influence.

Leave the flagging system alone. completely unregulated wild west is very much a needed aspect of the platform. Its a major attribute to cryptocurrency in general.

Just don't piss off a whale and you are fine I think lol.

I agree that we should avoid regulation. I have critical content like alternative media in mind which could be de-moneytized here by undercover accounts. On the other hand the free market could and would react and counter that with multiplied attention.

It's a very difficult topic but code can always be improved to work in better ways.

Undercover accounts? How much steem power do they have? I think if you get someone with a tribalistic following then flagging is pretty risky even with a sock account. It would be really hard to cover your tracks on the blockchain to hide who provided the account with steem. Yikes

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote! I just ask for a Follow in return!

On that same note, I have seen some really wealthy dudes get their asses kicked in on this platform. Being a whale wont save you from negative reputation which I think pretty much destroys your downvote power.
