RE: Newbie post - The thing that makes Snapchat different.
@jtech11, can you review my logic at Bitcointalk (read pages 6 and 7 of that linked thread) and feedback to me your thoughts? Also can you explain to me more about how Snapchat avoids likes in order to decide how to rank which content the users see?
With all of this being said, Steemit in my newbie opinion could suffer the same fate if people simply write or share content based upon how many votes, money or comments received.
I made the similar observation and explained in detail with examples at the above linked discussion thread. I would like to read your feedback.
Sure thing @anonymit. I'll check it out. I don't personally use Snapchat but to take a crack at your question, if the system is not based on likes then simply put, people must want to see your content. Seeing how manipulation of Youtube, Facebook and Twitter Snapchat may not be as manipulated as easily.
I have further thoughts at another blog that it is the interaction and user engagement of video that makes it more of bidirectional media than static content publishing. I agree that Likes (votes) are not a user engagement metric.
