RE: 👎 It's okay to downvote

in #steem6 years ago

i hear you but for me I think people should be able to post whatever they want. I am not opposed "low quality" content. In my opinion that is how social media is shared and consumed these days. Instagram has trained users to share pics and vids that aren't "quaility" . I'm just against the idea that long form blogging is what should be posted on steemit. Medium is irrelevant as a growth platform and things like instagram, snapchat and twitter are still growing. I think that forcing "quality" content will be the end of steem. If I disagree with people I comment and engage but really it doesn't matter if I disagree or not regarding their opinion or posts.

Sort:  

I am not talking about forcing quality content, I am talking about balancing rewards positively to quality content. Rubbish content should get less rewards than quality content. Quality content should get more exposure than 1 photo posts. Flagging high valued low quality content has this as a result.
I am not opposed to low quality content, I am opposed to low quality content getting too much of the reward pool.

I get it but I think its too late. The wealth distribution is too skewed at this point in my opinion.

If you can prove me that the wealth distribution on steem was better any point, please do so. Although I doubt that it was better, and if it was better than probably during the "bull run", and thus, not sooo different to now.

I meant that it's too late. It was never good. But it was the whales wiping out people just because they didn't like them. I just think downvoting is unnessicary

We're on a Proof of Stake network, the idea is that the more stake someone has to lose in this network the higher the probability is that this person wants this network to succeed and the higher the probability is that he will do things that serve the community in these cases.
