It's a lot of these initiatives on top of some "blind votes" that unfortunately cause a lot of bad actors to create accounts and attempt to earn some easy hive by copy-pasting random intro posts or faking their identity. This is one of the reasons we
- vote intro posts not vouched by anyone less than others
- follow them so we can check up if they've kept up with posting which most abusers don't do and then vote them more consistently/higher possibly
It's gotten better but for some time there there were literal farms generating fake intro posts, many getting away with rewards and at the same time wasting account credit tokens that are quite finite which we're offering for free to hiveonboard which many projects and dapps on hive use daily.
Abuse cannot be totally eliminated, but it can be minimized. Minimizing it, however, is such a challenging thing to do. It would have caused you and your team to go back and forth on your strategies simply for the purpose oc curbing these abuses.
Accounts don't come cheap (which many do not know) and therefore, creating accounts that will not be used only causes issues for the newbies in the future.
Thank you for explaining.
FIRST of all, we have to have consensus on things liek what IS abuse, what IS copyright? What country does HIVE exist in? what jurisdiction? Not all people live in countries with the same laws, there is no one universal rule about content and abuse etc
maybe instead of debating this and relying on the WHIMS of the hive whales, who often dont agree we could hard code the RULES into the chain and have some sort of system for ownership and content, maybe even using AI to DETECT plagarism in text and images? Also thers plenty of cases for 107 fair use of images and text, and we cant rely on humans to enforce the rules, steemcleaner style bots should all be using AI
If an animal takes a photo of itself, does it deserve author rewards? Or are we going to follow the human supremacist line opf thinking that a human must create something to have copyright?
How is Hive going to debate the AI copyright debate? Are we going to act liek an artists owns all the styles it uses or are we going to realize that no one can OWN a whole art style? Are we going to be democratic and fair to ai artists or are we going to act like they are not "artists"? Some people claimed digital artists using photoshop werent real "artists"
are we hgoing to adopt hive code written by ai with chat gpt?
what if someone creates amazing hive engine trading bots that use chat gpt and we all end up using it or chat gpt codes for some hive blockchain purpose, and we all end up using it without realizing it?
Will we argue about the "abuse" or ai written code? WHat if its so good we all end up using it though? Its going to get REAL crazy up in here.
