RE: A Dystopian World Ruled By Corporate Giants

You should have posted this in #education - it's one of the most pressing questions of our time.

I agree with you on Google - I'm shit scared of it - the main problem being that I have absolutely no idea exactly what algorithms it uses to calculate searches and thus control access to knowledge, and of course the algorithms change -

At least with the old oil companies you could see the damage they were doing and you sort of knew what you were fighting against - now we don't even know the 'rules of the game'!

To what extent do you think Steemit's success depends on Google?

Sort:  

Oh it didn't cross my mind to post it under that tag.

Yes, Google is the scariest of the bunch. It is so similar to the evil corporations in all the novels about a dystopian world.

I don't think Steemit's success depends too much on Google. There are many other ways to market a product and till now, word of mouth has already been the reason for so much growth. Imagine what will happen if and when marketing kicks in.
