RE: Steemit Enterprise Ad Platform: A solution to vote bot abuse

in #promo-steem7 years ago

Sorry man, I see that your intentions are good but I didn’t like what I read. The reason I recently started producing content on Steemit is precisely because there is no advertising on the platform.
I don’t need a new version of the old thing.
I don’t want Samsung to have an account, Apple to have an account, Microsoft to have an account.
I want to engage with people not companies.

I know that the system, right now, doesn’t work very well. Agreed.
But I think the solution should be searched without altering the core principles of the platform.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware that some parts of the community will definitely react negatively at first. But I think the upside for the STEEM is quite huge and this is more of an experiment with only a few select companies at first. I don't think it'll be enough volume to affect the overall experience. It would be really nice if we can find a way for companies to engage in the platform too. People antagonize corporations a bit too much IMO. great companies are just made of a bunch of great people.

I've met with Google's cloud team for pushtable.com and I would love to have Google promote developer and firebase tutorial videos on Steemit. It's awesome content for developers that I even watch on my spare time.

If it does affect you experience on the platform negatively, feel free to let me know. I'll definitely stop or change course if I think it's not helping the community. Ultimately any plan like that won't be sustainable.
