I've been working through the new tribe https://talkingpoint.co/ for the last few days. I love the Point Token and can't wait to learn more about it but I'm pondering the use of the tribe itself.
Politics is certainly a "hate bait" niche and 99% of we consume online is just noise but for our purposes it is a great way to get more eyeballs on the steem blockchain. Like with Leo and Sportstalk, there are lots of opportunities with TalkingPoint.
In fact when you look at the trending page what you find is mostly links to existing online articles with author commentary which ads to the content. Nothing wrong with that. I see this type of thing in my facebook feed. People linking to something they see and make some comment about it. Sometimes the comments are snarky and sometimes they are useful. But the point is, they really get people fired up.
If you go into any "political" Facebook group, this is all you see and there are dozens of comments. So my thought is, why not share links from https://talkingpoint.co/ in Facebook groups and let people engage. Undoubtedly, they will click to the source and see the earnings on the post. From there, it would be pretty easy to show these people how they too can monetize their political opinions.
So if you are into spreading the word about Steemit and Steem, this a really timely way to do say. Crypto prices may be low but political banter is severely hot right now . And, as you can see, it didn't die down after the 2016 election. Let's help this tribe profit on tribalism
I think there is a lot of hidden use in all this . I think talkingpoint with politics and debate is a great use case for Steem. I'm looking forward to be deeply involved in it.
I think so too. I just hope people don't downvote over disagreements. Have a !BEER on me!
I'm sure people will.
But, once they become malicious or start to target non-debate related posts, then it becomes a real problem.
Luckily, I'm sure the tribe will deal with it.
Yes. I wonder how they will handle something like that. I'd had to see downward price pressure on the token because of downvoting. !BEER

BEER.Hey @enforcer48, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @cflclosers for you. Enjoy it!I think so too - it'll be really interesting to see whether downvoting comments is common. I'd like to think we're better than that, but I do live in my own happy bubble sometimes!
Yep, my bubble is a happy place too lol. Human nature makes me think that downvoting will be a problem. People cannot even have civil exchanges on facebook and twitter. Imagine when they can take tokens out of their foe's pockets. Have a !BEER on me.
CHEERS. Here is to behaving like human beings!
