I want to see all sorts of content on Hive. Some people do post their dinner (and possibly all meals each day) and it's up to the community to decide what that's worth. Not everyone is into writing quality posts or doing proper video production. It's going to be interesting if/when we get to a million active users. There will be lots of spam and other abuse that we will have to deal with, but I hope it empowers lots of them when it's hard to get by generally. I'm not so interested in those aiming to be millionaires.
I did smile that the old video mentioned me. It doesn't feel so long ago that you came over here.
Stay well and have fun.
!PIZZA !LUV
This is the thing. There is a distinction to be made here between spam and spammers.
I would argue that 95% of stuff on social media is 'spam' of one form or another. News, celeb gossip etc.
What one considers quality content is a completely subjective judgement call.
In our case we have the same people from the other place spamming and scamming the reward's pool day in day out. Those are the people that need sorting out.
As for spam in itself that is not aiming to rob us blind but merely wants to share stupid memes. That I'm afraid is the reality of the current web and if people find value in it. That is no one else's business and trying to control that is fruitless unless of course they are also robbing the rewards pool.
Its hard to believe this video was made after I saw you play in the pub. Time flies.
I can truly say you inadvertently had a massive impact on my direction of travel.
Thanks Steve. Hoping we get together at some stage? Covid permitting.
Yes, people love memes and Hive will change as it grows. It is debatable what has value, but I hope those with the influence will be able to get rewards where they are deserved.
When I referred to spam I really meant stuff that was was not even intended to have an audience. Like this. We'd had a few like that before. Just have to spot them quickly and tools can be created for that.
I hope we can have meetups early next year. May need to be outdoors to start with, weather permitting.
Wow what possesses someone to make an account like that? That is truly bizarre. I don't get it? I'm baffled. I've never seen anything like that?
Wait a minute yes I have haijin used to post a screen shot of some bs technical analysis and upvotes poured in?
That account is still on here too up to the same tricks.
We agree. That account is pure spam crap and should be flagged to extinction.
I've delegated my down vote to the groups on hive vote.
If you want my down vote delegation let me know.
Looks like you find some terrible stuff. Very frustrating.
There's a lot of shit most people are unaware of. Those who say we should get rid of downvotes don't appreciate what would happen.
There are a lot of very sick people out there in the world.
Mentally ill people seem to have increased exponentially in recent years or maybe we are just more aware if them?
We have both issues here it seems?
Closing down the asylum's was another terrible Tory idea. Drugging mentally Ill people and putting them out on the streets is just inhumane but saved money and freed up loads of hospitals to be converted to luxury flats!
We have a lot of psychopathic thieves on here.
They thrive at the expense of the community.
I'm glad you are tackling this because I sure don't want to.
It must be very depressing to see this every day? How do you keep sane? 👍
I do think some people I encounter here have issues of some sort. The good stuff more than cancels out the bad for me. When I see abuse I try to deal with it and move on, but we have a guy who has been sending low value downvotes to us for years because we took him on. He's earning hardly anything as he never posts.
That's good to hear. FB etc are jammed full of that kind of crap. I haven't used FB in years. Its just full of trolls and maniacs.
I think I know the account you are talking about. It has no blogs and virtually zero hive but it spams out 1% down votes constantly?
What's the point of that kind of behavior? What purpose does it serve?
