RE: What is the #1 change needed for Steem - Win $20+ upvote

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

I flagged a plagiarist on trending yesterday, and that'll probably be the last flag I give out because nobody else had my back. I confronted a shit poster on trending with honest words, they pouted, so that'll be the last time I say anything because my intention was to help and that gets converted into hate. Words don't work, flags suck, done deal.

The demand to buy STEEM under the current method of promotion is a game for suckers. One buys, they quit, someone replaces them, they quit, and soon the word will get out and people will erroneously accuse these tokens as being a poor investment due to the misleading nature of the current game. They can spend a million and never become a successful act here because the odds are stacked against them. I see people delegate to bots, then buy back the SP that is rightfully theirs in the form of a vote for a potential loss. Is this where the cool kids say SMH?

We can do better, and get rich, easily. Someone can start developing a DAPP today that caters to those who wish to buy steem and promote their work, and we can place those promotions into our potentially trending or hot posts that get eyes from all of the other DAPPs (Steemit, Dtube, etc, etc, etc) The solution is so simple and I'm shocked this has been flying under the radar for so long when one can simply look at a place like Youtube, realize the potential of what I'm talking about where the content producer plays the most critical role in attracting eyes to both content and promotions at the same time, then we can create a money making machine that can't be stopped. So goddamn simple! LOL

They even reward you with a small amount of sp for every successful contribution.

You're right, they'll have my back. I just assumed, since there are 60000 active members at any given moment, and this post is on trending, someone would see... but as what was highlighted in my post the other day, nobody looks at trending, and that means these people are marketing in front of a dead audience, so hey! Let's change that, and make some real money.

I no longer view trending as it is ALL shit.

People have been saying that for many months, so why not fix it in a way where everyone makes money?

I've said it since September 2017, I would never have joined if I had inspected the site prior to joining. Reality is the top of every social media site is shit, we are just reaching normal status with what we have trending. A simple fix would be to just get rid of trending and hot altogether.

It all comes down to who loses money with changes, those who can make the changes or those who want them. Seems the same people who have always made money here are still making money here. There just isn't easy bid-bot buys like many built their accounts with, now things are capped for buyers. It was not like that when I first arrived but many who took advantage at that point are now pro #nobidbot tagging their feeds.

The history is all in the blockchain.

My suggestion leads to everyone earning more. It's a proven business model. These folks seem to prefer to earn thousands over millions though. The history is all in the blockchain.

Indeed, but greed rules the hen house here.

They can't seem to see the whole picture with their greed blinders on.

Trending = scratch my back I scratch yours! Nobody pays attention to it.

Honestly people who actually bought steem at or above these price levels who have tried to buy votes to get onto trending are some brave souls, attacking them is really just a deflection from the back-scratching you speak of that's been going on since forever ago often by people who never had to put monetary skin in the game.

There are some assumptions in your response as I at no time associated 'bidbots' and 'trending' as I did not even believe that one could make the trending page by buying votes. Well I went and checked 'Trending' out for the first time in eonks and lo and behold there are posts which have used bidbots .... but there are still the old usual suspects which have been around benefiting from each others votes ......

and the majority of those do not vote for posts outside of their circle. To be fair that is how it was..... I have not paid attention to them for at least a year... so mayhaps I am wrong.

Yeah I'm aware of that and the whole ned delegation and guild controversies at the time, I've seen people get utterly destroyed for so much as bringing it up and I can only hope they make good on their stake in the future, it's not really my fight as I'm just trying to accumulate stake to redistribute to those who have less and I don't want to bother with any big flags while I'm doing so.

Got a link to the plagiarist?

Oh , dis about to get good.

Thank you, I will have a look, the best place to report these is Discord abuse channel so they don't get lost and easier to track.
