RE: Introducing steem2wls: Automatically cross-post your Steem posts to Whaleshares
Too bad whaleshares is useless trash run by criminals and scammers...
Too bad whaleshares is useless trash run by criminals and scammers...
@berniesanders - Can you elaborate on that? Who are the criminals and scammers? For me, it seems like Whaleshares was created due to there being a disagreement between their devs and steemit devs like a hard fork?
There are no bots on the platform which is good but I don't think the issue of manipulating the trending feed will ever go away - seen people with 3 upvotes make it to the top of the feed and this "summon a whale" thing doesn't seem to be any different to buying upvotes.
But I like to use a platform first before writing about them so if you have any more information on it, would be great to hear 🙂

Well, I know that @thebugiq on Whaleshares stole my idea for Steemit Open Mic which I started 115 weeks ago and they chose a name so similar (Open Mic Contest) that it's causing confusion. People keep asking if that's me on WhaleShares. They could have come up with a different name at least. That's kind of scammy. I wouldn't call it criminal, but thieves is closer to the truth.
The rules are the same, the name about the same. There's been lot's of people copying Open Mic but at least they make their own take on it. This is a strict copycat.

Thanks for letting me know @luzcypher. I am still pretty new to these sites, only joined steem in March and it's such a vast technical world for a musician/traveller to get my head around!
I go for usability and trustworthiness behind the team and devs (as well as from referrals/good words from those using the platform in some communities).
Sorry they stole your Open Mic idea, that's not cool.
Just trying to piece things together so when I read things that are different to what I have heard, I want to find out more.

Who runs it?
It’s only going to kill Whaleshares’ SEO for duplicate content. And, of course, also the token value because of that.
We disagree - anyone interested in the full discussion can find it here: https://steempeak.com/@fknmayhem/re-chronocrypto-steem2wls-cross-post-your-steem-posts-to-whaleshares-20181201t045723466z
I don’t care about whether you agree or not. It will kill their SEO, that’s a fact. Unless they will implement canonical, which wouldn’t make much strategical sense since the plugin goes from Steem to WLS, they will toast.
Your argument forgets that all “thriving social media sites” already built large activity before crossposting happened.
It doesn’t matter, you give another spin to the topic. I focused on SEO and duplicate content is undeniable. Period.
As we have stated already, duplicate content has been on Whaleshares before steem2wls - we just make cross-posting more convenient than using masdacs or doing it manually. Any negative SEO consequences could be eliminated by implementing canonical links, that is upon Whaleshares to implement first, not us. Nobody says that canonical posts bring any positive SEO, but contrary to duplicate posts without canonical refs they have no negative effects which makes your argument of "killing the SEO" invalid.
Until implemented my argument is valid, thanks for agreeing. 🤘
Well, you can hardly blame us for Whaleshares not having canonical links implemented yet ;)
I didn’t blame you, you only went totally defensive over something you agreed with from your first reply (second actually). ¯_(ツ)_/¯
