Our trending page is a dumpster fire, and don't even get me started on how I feel about bots and shitposting and the like. It's out of control and the powers that be are doing very little to stop it.
You hit the nail on the head Beth.
SEO = What Google likes to see.
You can optimize your content to get higher search result rankings, verify your "property" on their Google Search Console Dashboard and backlinks from websites that Google doesn't like don't count at all.
Futhermore you have Google earth, Google maps, the search engine itself and Youtube.
Google controls the world and that is no understatement. They control information access and what we see, smartphones, computers, navigation systems and more.
Shit, ever seen Terminator? Google could easily become Skynet, they already have global control.
It's about politics, and politics are about power, this is just another way of securing and increasing Googles might.
Nice garden, and by the way, I remember that @teutonium said that Google has a team to research immortality, guess Soros has a special interest LOL.
Your passion and thinking were shining a lot in this video : )
I love the way you write your comments, recently!
Thank you Flauwy 😊
Some of the best content creators have left because of lack of visibility (within the platform) and the the ability of Whales to flag an account to death. I'm thoroughly disgusted with the likes of Bernadette Flagalicious, also known as the Flagit Fagit, who can re-establish his rePUTAtion after having sunk to -17. Who did he bribe? Why worry about Google when this platform can't assure fair viewer-ship to it's participants within the platform? Why would we want to be here? Why would I post here if I can't even watch my own videos a month later? These are issues I brought up from the very beginning! I work 10 hours to create a video, and the platform feeds me shit in return!! Easy to blame Google, but Steemit needs to get their own shit together rather than rely on an outside entity to spread it's visibility. Viewer-ship and reader-ship came from 1 million new accounts, ..of which maybe 150,000 are still active. We've lost more viewers than we have active accounts; perhaps that is the real reason our ratings dropped through the floor. Greetings!
I agree with everything that you say Onno, there are a lot of factors that play a role for Steem crashing at the moment.
what an amazing comment @valorforfreedom
If I would find it earlier I would definetly upvote it big time
Thank you Piotr.
