RE: Steemit, DTube Mentioned On Bloomberg, Following Social Media Giants Popularity Crisis
It's another good bit of publicity. Steemit was mentioned on Forbes too this week. I'd hope that those with money to invest read these. I saw someone saying that Steemit seemed to be creating lots of accounts that look like bots. That's not what we need.
There's lots of bots. But the more popular Steem gets, the less power and influence those bots will ultimately have.
What I'm concerned with is the censoring of people on here by flagging their accounts to hell for differing opinions or 'wrong-think'. That is a system that is very flawed. Thankfully most of the Steem platforms show flagged posts by default unlike Steemit. However, it's still easy for the little guys to get their rewards stolen away for dumb reasons.
Flagging has uses to deal with abuse of the system, but some use it to suppress and criticism of what they do.
Yeah exactly. I think it would be better if X amount of flags got it forwarded to a moderator of some kind or a witness for review. Allowing others to remove peoples money for no reason is kind of messed up unless they're actually breaking rules.
It's all a compromise. People want freedom, but then they want to be protected. It's up to the community to do this
But sadly, yes:
