RE: Examining Honey from a Different Perspective - Steemit Sock Puppetry Continues
Well, no one wants to read shit posts. And the real writers who work for real media companies are laughing at Steemit's trending pages when the shit posts rise up. That's a real problem.
I agree, but what constitutes a "shit post" is definitely a subjective judgment. What means would you use to define that to improve the quality of content? One thing for sure is no matter how you define it there will be haters and those who will feel slighted by the dividing line. However, that doesn't mean those standards should be undefined or hidden, otherwise we will all end up with a "shit platform" that drives good content out.
Catering to the least common denominator in an attempt to appeal to the largest audience will not sustain this platform. There is a measurable spectrum of content quality, the question is by what standards are those measurements quantified by the platform and to what degree are those standards open to be defined?
