RE: 🗨️ NO Structure, NO Sense, NO Rambling, NO Silence, NO Thinking, NO
I'm still hopeful that #lifetime-rewards can turn this around, but trying to get to that point is slow, uncertain, and frustrating.
Beyond the conversations that I have with you, there's absolutely no discussion about how bad the content on Steemit has become. It doesn't even get a mention on the Witness channel, with people instead talking about "Marketing the platform", "getting investors" and alternative uses for the STEEM coin. Which when I think about it, is little surprise given that a lot of them are the cause of the problem... and profiting from the problem... so don't see it as a problem.
It feels to me like the blogging side of the STEEM ecosystem is reaching its final days. I've seen some once notable communities disappear (along with their leadership team) for the same reason. And communities with over 100 active posts, will have zero comments the length, and thought of which I am typing now.
Wow. I was unaware of this. I always wondered about their witness voting on that account, but delegation, too.... I don't get it...

Check out the top delegations and what they're being used for. Only sc01 and sc02 have larger ones.
- Run a voting service. 3 self-votes per day.
- Some weird TipTag community that nobody understands apart from him.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep going. (I was going to write "caring" instead of "going" but I obviously really care!)
In June of 2020, I spent one month curating with a Steemit account when I was "between jobs" (I think it was the first month of the program[?]). Even then, it was very time consuming to find enough content to keep the account's voting power below 100% full time. I'm sure it must be an order of magnitude harder now.
I think your team is on the right track with your semi-automated approach. If attackers are augmented by automation (which they are), then defenders must be, too.
From your application post, I had also been hoping they'd let you experiment with downvoting. Overall, I'm not a fan of downvoting, but at present I definitely think it is a "necessary evil".
Not sure how I never noticed that. I guess maybe they're leasing SP, too? I have long wondered how they stay afloat for years with no apparent revenue stream.
