RE: How to make friends and influence people
Being tagged notifications really needs to be part of the steemit platform! Thanks for the message on discord to point me here.
@abh12345 thanks for taking the time to compile this list. I am going to have to review it against those I'm supporting.
Still not decided if bidbots are truly bad for steemit, but the way they are currently run isn't acceptable IMO.
I would love to be part of an account that is there to review content and give out downvotes for poor content that uses bots or other "arrangements" to get far to many rewards for the content provided. Stolen content and scammers getting not only the post reviewed nuked, but the entire account. Would need some serious delegations for this, but would be willing to put in time towards the efforts and give a list 2-3 times weekly of those who got flagged and why.
@thedarkhorse, nice to meet you. Any friend of @lynncoyle1 is my friend too ;0)
I’ve seen a post by @sneaky-ninja about setting up a new @sneaky-ninja abuse policy.
Basically, the post said that @sneaky-ninja will set up a team of people (called @steembotcleaners) to manually go through all votes that have been bought, and will deal with plagiarism and low-quality content.
I don’t know how they will manage to deal with it, but if you ask me, it is a step in the right direction...
Agreed and took a quick look at your latest posts. Added you to my follow list.
I have seen the post about the changes that sneaky-ninja is testing and very interested to see how that all plays out...and if it lasts. Really hoping that it will clean things up a little and maybe with less spammers buying votes there will be room for quality posts to use these services once and a while to get some exposure without loosing your butt doing so.
True.
But the question remains: who will decide what’s a quality post and what’s not? And why can’t a short post be of more quality than a long one?
Anyways, I’m just really glad to see that people are finally taking steps to do something about it. Because if nothing is done, SteemIt will go down. The trending page which is basically the main SteemIt advertisement, looks aweful. The wrong people and the wrong posts are being rewarded, and a wrong message is sent to the ‘outside world’.
Even if this @steembotcleaners experiment fails, it is good to see a bot owner being aware of the problem and willing to take steps to make a change. It might be the beginning of the future...
Btw, thanks for the follow ;0)
Quality is subjective, but cut & paste plagiarism and stolen photos/meme/videos don't deserve rewards. This is about original content not stealing from others and getting paid for it.
My pleasure @thedarkhorse; I'm glad you found it. I see that you've met @simplymike too...both of your introductions are very sweet...warms my heart.
It is good to see that at least it's all been noticed and something may be done about it. But I agree with @simplymike...some of it's pretty subjective, so who decides all of that? It would be nice however to get rid of the obvious spammy junk though!
True. Often the difference between junk and ‘no-junk’ is like black and white, but there is also a grey zone.
I’ll just be happy if the real junk posts will be filtered out.
(I ust admit I do feel a little offended by being rejected by Smartsteem - that’s where the question about who decides what’s quality and what’s not came from, lol. I know I’m not a top notch writer, but I’m definitely not the worst...)
It should be easy to get rid of the obvious junk, right?!
I didn't know about you and Smartsteem. Their loss if you ask me! :)
There’s indeed a lot of crap that can be filtered out without having to look at it twice ...
And thanks, @lynncoyle1
Nice thing to say (but don’t you always - lol)
Well I mean every word of it missy! :)
