RE: ALERT - Betting account run by a trusted member of Steemit found to be a scam
this is exactly the type of crap that is making steemit appear to be a scammy site. These gambling operations are a really bad idea. This type of stuff will just continue to reemerge if the culture is not changed.
I think STEEM-powered gambling could have quite a bright future, but I'd rather see it on a separate interface. I don't think Steemit.com's design is very well suited for it.
if place turns into gambling, then I'm out of here really fast. That will only bring a new level of shittiness to here.
I see nothing good in gambling except addiction. As an ex-addict, I would say that it does nothing to move humanity forward, therefore I think it should go.
Thank god you don't get to decide. GTFO
You're trying to throw out the baby with the bath water here. People not doing what they say they're going to do is bad whether it's gambling or anything else. If there's an argument against gambling on Steemit it's not because one account happened to be a scam.
"This stuff will continue to reemerge" is a pretty big assumption, and this guy here didn't even make all that much from it, and it teaches people to be more careful and is harder to pull off next time someone tries.
Edit to add: I haven't myself looked at this closely enough to have an opinion whether he's scamming. Not relevant to my comment here but I just want to be clear that I'm not accusing him of a scam, I don't actually know.
