I consider that you're totally right. I'm an @ocd curator so every time I'm looking for great, original content I have to dive deep into a sea of spam and shit all over the place.
I think that @henry-gant's Steem.it idea is pretty interesting and that may be the solution but until then we can only hope that those spammers will realize that they can't just rip of steemit and they will either back off or start to create something.
Btw, I'm looking forward for your next painting. :)
Thank you so much @guyfawkes. I'm not understanding why this is not a priority. O' well. Same old, Same old. We will have to wait until a crisis. (Iceberg . . . dead ahead!)
My paintings . . . I am commisioned to paint a large mural for the reception area of a new motel. I'm preparing to document the process and of course, post it to Steem.it. That will be fun.
Until then, Happy posting.
Same old, same old indeed. If there's an issue people should take direct action towards making the things right but still, with the spamming, the situation gets really tricky.
The worst ones are not those that are spamming people with stolen content and get no money but those that are doing so and make some nice money without putting any effort in.
They also shouldn't be put in the corner but understood and helped to become value providers because steemit is a new concept, unseen before and it can be hard for some people to really understand what steemit is about.
Good luck with your painting :)
