RE: How Is Steemit Changing - Part 2

in #steemit7 years ago

Interesting post, I don't particularly like the idea of one account one vote. I however like the idea of verifying identity where one person will only be allowed one account. I think this must be done sooner than later. Currently there are already a number of people raping the system with a huge number of accounts voting for themselves!! I also think the vote buying should be stopped, this in counter productive to finding the real good content, and the voting bods are making big money in the process.
Thanks again for sharing this video.

You're right. It would be great to see some sort of account verification done on the blockchain. Their may be a solution for that at some point in the future. I imagine when blockchain Identities become a thing it will completely solve the fake account spamming.

On the vote buying front... agreed. It clearly doesnt bring the best content to the top. It brings advertisements to the top. Communities may be the solution. They can be tailored to each groups needs and wants with SMT's. It could be a huge shift. Interesting times to say the least. I'm proud to be a part of it.

I agree with you. However, the vote buying part is a touchy one. It can be unfair but it does fund the steem project. People need to realize that this is a cryptocurrency rewarded blog site. Investors get rewarded here just as with any other cryptocurrency. If you invest little and expect to get a lot, you're being unrealistic, especially if you only invest time/effort. So far, vote buying is allowed. So take advantage of it while it lasts. If the rules change later, we will adjust to them. But for now, let's all make some money. After all, this is a money-making site.
