RE: Steemit's Got Issues! - Self and Circular Voting - Take 1
That's the issue. How do we decide 50.1%, 51% 75% To reach consensus. Then what happens to that 25-50% that aren't happy, do they work, start their own steemit competitor.
Then you start taking on exceptions or compromises to get most everyone to agree. Then that black and white rule becomes a little more gray.
Then whales use loop holes to make the most of these grey areas to make it easier for them to grow and harder for us smaller accounts. See any similarities here?
This is only a problem if it is left to us to vote on or something similar. Which is sort of where we are at perhaps. If the creators of the site (not just random whales with personal grudges) were to make a decision and make it very known we would basically have to accept it because it would be a steemit rule, created and enforced by steemit creators. Then, anyone that did not comply would simply suffer consequence like they would for breaking any other rule on any other site anywhere else on the web.
Does that suck for some, yea it sure does. However on every site you go to there are rules that govern what you can and cannot do there. For instance on many sites you cannot have nudity. That was never voted on and some don't like it but they simply go somewhere else or deal with it. In that type of scenario there is far less controversy because it simply comes as site rules.
When someone has not broken a site rule, for instance by self voting, then anyone that hurts them or their rewards for it is being malicious and harmful to that person over a personal thought or belief. It is basically cyber bullying in a new form.
@michaeldavid can you see this?
legit, I think these big guys are doing much of the harm becaue.. hey.. there's no competitor!!
who else is thinking ike I'm thinking?.. by the way we are all looking at the news for what zuckerberg is planning to do with learning cryptos for facebook's development.. I think @ned has to do something fast before zuckerberg comes up with something genius
Zuckerberg will never come up with something genius.
Crypto is decentralization. Decentralization mean no 3rd party gets a cut.
No 3rd party getting a cut means end of facebooks revenue -> Death of Facebook.
Crypto is, steem is.... Steemit is not. Steemit is actually owned. In fact, their logo is even copywrited and they have made it very clear you are not allowed to use it.
Besides. Ripple is a crypto and it is not decentralized.
You are definitely on the right track here.
All it would take for someone with loads of money like Zuckerberg to make steemit an obsolete platform is make the same thing on an existing block chain or his own that is simply user friendly and has a good communication/notification set up. That's it, game over.
That one simple thing is why steemit is not already super huge. If it, at minimum, is not fixed then steemit may become myspace down the line.
Thank you for thinking in my line. I don't know if you have seen the news about Zuckerberg planning to or already studying cryptos to find solutions to Facebook's issues and if he has snitches and I mean tech snitches who are studying this platform and seeing these issues, they will find solutions and make theirs an even better platform for earning on proof of brain
wow, no i have not heard any of that but it makes me feel like the crypto space is about to get interesting. lol
