RE: Testing Short Posts with Zappl!
@jerrybanfield , do you not think that the rise of the zappl and dmania is kind of 'dumbing down' the ecosystem ? I just think its sad that sooner or later, our feeds maybe full of short posts and the quality content long posts that many provide for our entertainment and more importantly, education may got lost in a cacophony of dross ?
Best wishes to you :-)
A filter option must be applied in the future. We have so many platforms and projects on top of steem, we definitely need a filter.
absolutely agree mate, but I just hate seeing people posting shite, copied memes on dmania in particular and then receiving huge rewards for them, just sullies it a bit I think. Perhaps the reward pool needs adjustment also.
the only reason they are getting big rewards it's because each one of those alternative platforms has a huge delegation "from above" to upvote content and hence create traction. They are just not using it in the right way. Only @utopian-io is doing a good job on upvotes but they are working on a different level with a lot of moderators that are doing a hell of a job.
Don't worry, that can easily be remedied by applying some kind of front-end restrictions.
It can and I know I'm jumping the gun a little as everything develops, but it's more the quality and just rewards that concern me somewhat!
We will leave it in the hands of the witnesses we put out faith in!
Well, shit posting is happening every where, even on Steemit. Let's see where do these new developments lead us.
If Steem fails, EOS is just around the corner after all. Keep calm and Steem on.
ooooo controversial...but true ;-)
Nathen I have been hesistant to even test @zappl or any shorter posting strategy because of this too. The more I think about it, I see many benefits to the Steem blockchain on shorter posts.
Ok, cheers. I will look forward to a future post when you outline these benefits !! thanks for taking the time to respond mate :-)
I would love to read those benefits
