So the idea is to limit the use of the applications on the STEEM blockchain?
Under your proposal, I have the choice of 4 posts spread across steemit, zappl, dtube, dmania, etc.... Using Zappl as an example, they are trying to become another twitter...so 4 zaps and I am done?
I do not think it is a good idea to create a system where we are telling people to limit their use of the things on this blockchain. I thought the idea was to get people to do more on here?
Ultimately, people are prone to abuse freedom. If we limit the freedom, we remove the opportunity for this kind of abuse, ..
What other freedoms are we going to limit?
Today it is the number of posts, tomorrow it could be what is posted.
Havent we learned this lesson from government. They use the people will abuse the freedom. It use to be you couldnt yell fire in a crowded theater or verbally threaten someone, now if it isnt politically correct, it is hate speech and needs to be taken down. Of course, that hate speech can change depending upon who is in charge.
Is that a can of worms we really want to open?
Agreed. One scenario that comes to mind is realtime journalism coming to steem - in the event of an important event or story that a journalist would want to cover - they may need to make many dozens of various posts to keep their audience up with the particular topic - and those post should be able to keep full value so as to be easily found in the hot and trending tabs.
