RE: Time To Make STEEM A Huge Success By Dropping The Focus On "Quality"

in #busy6 years ago

I see many who call posts on here crap. Please tell me the names of the Steemians who are on the crap committee and make such decisions.

For me a crap post is something that's just posted and then artificially inflated by vote bot bidding. These are posts that are just one or two words or a small quip about something. It's another story all together for me when it's not vote botted to hell and back and grows naturally because it's actually good content. It doesn't have to be a whole long blog post, it can be a video/YT Embed or can even be a simple image/meme or something funny textually. A one liner quip can be a good post.

When I say something is crap, I mean it's crap to me. And if I see that a crappy post is up in the ranks because of vote bots, it leads me to believe the poster of the crap post also believes it to be shite too.

Sort:  

It is like an auction. They wouldn't be able to upvote their posts that much if there was enough pull in other directions, that is upvotes, from people, from bots, for other posts, as the rewards pool of Steem is limited and mathematically, hypothetically, maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but maybe someday better posts will trend more and more that is as Steem grows and assuming that better posts can outnumber the other posts, and assuming that those better posts can somehow be voted on more often, by people, bots, whatever, and that kind of happens already at times, and it is a tug-a-war match going back and forth.

Eh, I've just learned a good while back that the front page just doesn't have quality posts, ever. You have to actually go into Steemit based discord servers that have a "Self Promotion" category to find the good stuff much of the time. Would be superior actually to have newest posts period on the front page instead. At least that way it's always changing and always fresh.

Yeah, that would probably be a better way of doing it.
