really sux, it took so many people speaking up to get the view counter to stop bot voting in the first place. now when it does its job and we can call out bot votes by looking at the views to upvote raito nothing gets done and insted they remove the counter.
every improvement seems to be a step backwards. hell my rep shows 25 when i go to my wallet and its been like that for months but they have the time to hide the views.
madness!
lol
Im honestly thinking that we need to just fork the steem blockchain and add cash to the name once SMTs come out.
Everyone will understand that the fork is teh real steemit
it needs to be made over from the begining, the premining and centralized power of corrput people that had access to the mining of steempower before all mining stopped and the public got access to the platform have destroyed this place.
Start over, all premined coins should be put into an account that distruitates them to new accounts when opened.
main problem is figuriging out a way to insure there is only one account per person. otherwise you have people making a bunch of accounts and self upvoting and then have to bring in the flag ect.
If the preminers and the people in power wernt corrupt to the core comminting the biggest scams on the platform while destroying others accounts for doing the same whikle pretending they are doing it for the good of steemit this site might have a chance. but the reality is the account thats the cleaner and suposta patrol this site is one of the biggest copy pasta accounts out there with his multi accounts and bots.
I provided links to it all in the past and was only flagged to shit for it.
No one cares imo, they are just trying to get as much out of the system as quick as possible before it all drops to nothing.
They removed the view counter, why? can anyone give me a good reason for removing it?
:/
Here is a little something that someone here gave me that should make BOTH sides of this issue happy ...
Someone (not me) has setup a Discord server for those who want to discuss these issues "unmolested" as it were. Here is the link: https://discord.gg/7njNSv
The reason BOTH sides are probably going to want to up-vote this comment is as follows.
THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEY ARE BEING CENSORED: "yes! a place we can talk about it without getting flagged for it!"
THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE FIRST GROUP IS JUST WHINING: "good! take your trash off of steemit! it doesn't belong here anyways!"
So I see both sides liking this for two very opposite reasons. So which ever side you're on, please up-vote this so that it remains at the top of this comments thread. Thank you.
how does your discord group fix the problems on steemit?
O.o
Its not "my discord" (as i already stated) and I never said it fixes anything. Its just a place where we can talk without getting downvoted and attacked.
Says the one who downvotes and attacks.
The irony is delicious. You play the victim well.
At the time I was giving you a piece of your own medicine because you were constantly downvoting me. Now lets see the chart for the times after that where I have been upvoting your stuff. Even your most ridiculous comments.
I don't view myself as a victim. Hey its your platform if you want to act like a sociopath, its your house, bro. Do as thou wilt.
@themarkymark just to show you I'm a good sport, I just changed all the downvotes to upvotes. Even on your ridiculous bot. If I missed any point me to it and I'll change it to an upvote. But pretty sure I got them all. Don't say I never gave ya anything :) And no, I don't expect this to get me removed from your bot. I'm just being a good sport. As I said previous, do as thou wilt. Its your house.
thats fucked your getting flagged.
:/
i upvoted the comments in hopes the become visible again.
Thanks I appreciate that. My rating is so low I can't even up-vote anyone at this point. LOL. And I'm still not angry about it. I think that admitting that I'm not angry is what upsets people the most really. In my experiences, if someone is angry at you but you're not angry at them back, they become even more offended.
This encourages me to think that we are seeing a "take the money and run" exit strategy by the whales and other powers that be. They know that the software won't scale and that new users are not retained, and so they've decide to kill the cow and eat it rather than continue to milk it for long term returns.
Thats what i been wondering, if they are trying to make the platform better of just get as much money out of it as fast as possible.
I seriously cant think of a single reason to remove the view counter, it was put in place to combat self upvoting sock puppet account bots.
:/
The fundamental problem with paying people for content is that it turns everyone into spammers and advertisers. I've been toying with using my software to throw together a simple chat platform. I'm tired of the idiots who lead this industry.
Just seems like steps backwards to me tbh.
Every system can be gamed. Selfishness ruins everything. The stupid thing about this platform is that it actually pays people to be selfish during their basic interactions, such as this conversation. For any social system to work, you just gotta start with unselfish people, people who will say to themselves, "Sure, I could game this system. But that's not the kind of person I am."
USENET and SMTP (email) worked just fine for many many years while it was accessible only by academics and military people. These people behaved themselves, partly because they had a high education level, and partly because it was a small community and there would be consequences for misbehavior.
But when USENET and SMTP became accessible to the general population, it didn't take attorneys (scum of the society) long to invent email spam. For then on, everyone has been trying to solve the problem using technology.
The only solution that will work is for unselfish people to separate themselves from the selfish people and not let them ruin everything.
Unfornatly assholes gona act like assholes.
lol
