Do you want Steemit to become a platform where vapid and soulless posts are consistently rewarded?
Personally, I would like to see much more vapid posts!!
;)
In all seriousness though, this is an important post as i have also been thinking about posting on this very subject. IF we reward these kinds of posts, and it appears that they are being rewarded, than that will bring hordes of individuals prepared to supply the blockchain with empty vanity posts / shallow soft porn. There will be a flood of new accounts created that are profit orientated and provide little to no value to the platform.
I think this topic needs to be discussed now as that wave is already on its way. The community needs to realize what the consequences of upvoting this kind of shit means for Steemit.
(I'm also not a prude, and not saying it should be banned, just this needs to be addressed)
Thanks for your thoughts buddy, and you're dead right. If the hard questions aren't asked and addressed soon I fear we will be swamped with dross.
I haven't been here long but it has become an important part of my life.
I never joined Fakebook or twotter as they were frankly a waste of my time. I have good friends and we keep in regular touch so I never had a need. However this platform is different and it would be nice if it could keep a bit of integrity.
Thanks again.
