So is this filtration actually on the cards or is it just wishful thinking?
It could be coded in to an interface today, but will be easier I think when the HiveMind features are released for the deleopers of the tools we view the Blockchain with.
You are right with the money men loving the cycles, it's always been a great way to create more profit - especially if you can cause the swings yourselves.
Filtering, or just staying away from trending, is ok for our eyes, but the bots were up to around 30 million SP, the last time I looked. They use all this, 10x a day, with total efficiency, on a lot of garbage - garbage that in some cases is being produced by bot owners. This ain't right!
Holy crap, 30 million SP... that's unreal.
There's a lot of stuff I still need to think through about this platform. Thankfully for me it's currently still very much philosophical as only 1.1% of Feb-March income came from Steemit.
Although it'll matter more once that % jumps when I quit work.
It is wrong. But what can we actually do about it?
Yeah I tried to have a look at the numbers here: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@abh12345/how-much-available-sp-is-there-for-steemit-com-content
What can we do? Umm, good question. It's for the big boys to change, I'm not sure we can do much in the short term apart from talk!
A. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out, but the answer seems to be 'very little'
B. Do you have a strategy for bookmarking posts about all of these issues? It strikes me that it would be a useful project to go back through some of the debates and summarize some of the arguments: but some of the best are in comments, which I don't think you can bookmark easily?
C. I'm saving some SBDs to have a crack at accessing the database to make various inquiries, is it still $10SBD/ month to @arcange for the privilege?
