RE: Making and Eating a Shit Sandwich- The importance of constructive criticism on Steemit.

in #howto7 years ago

A great explanation in my opinion @aggroed. What do you mean by "paid government shills"? Did not quite understand that bit. I hope that the way Steemit is built will keep the levels of saltiness where it is at the moment, close to zero!!

Sort:  

Governments and corporations employ people to act as astroturf. It's meant to mimic a grassroots movement in the direction they want people to go, but it's all professionally manufactured content by people paid to post it.

I love the term "astroturf" for these people.

know of someone getting paid to sway she has 42 blogs on "F" and gets paid for "opinions" I won't be telling her about steemit since she carries no opinion of her own.
