DApps are the future of the blockchain, and the more choice the better but like everything where there are rewards, there will be greed and cheats. Thats how it is sadly.
They create use and engagement. This is good, for all of us and the future of the blockchain :-)
Hope you're keeping well fella :-)I actually like @dlike for its potential. It could be a mix of pinterest and pocket and a simple way for people to share their own photos. It could be a great resource to follow stuff you're interested in and has filters already for you to filter out what you dont want to see...I know its a little bit messy at the moment but the devs there are lovely genuine people who are working hard with very limited resources and backing from the 'establishment'. They have a beg, steal and borrow delegation from regular people who have delegated what they can. Note the delegations to steemhunt which I personally think is worthless and to dtube which should be brilliant but is pants and various other DApps.
As for @dlike, and evennthe DApps I dont like, the best thing is they give regular people, who, with all the will in the world are never going to be great, or even good bloggers the chance to earn a few rewards and its that which makes them a top asset of this blockchain. Steem the blockchain is supposed to empower people and especially for the people from less wealthy nations they are a godsend, they promote inclusiveness and variety on the blockchain. Steem is so much more than Steemit (thank god) and anyway, if it gets too scammy, we got your crew to help us all out !

After some run-ins with @steemcleaners, @dlike is willing to explore decline payout options for people that just want to share interesting things without any commentary.
There are just too many people willing to abuse curation trails or bid bots on a shared link. I would be okay if the link was the work of the person who shared it, but more often than not, that's not the case. They can't even bother with an up-to 500 character note like Pinterest when they toss a random link to be voted on.
But like you said, there are positives and people can choose to flag them into oblivion if they are bad enough.
Hope you are doing well too. Thanks for commenting!
At one time they had a max payout limit of 30sbd (i pissed myself laughing when mehta blew a wad upvoting a share there and lost a fortune!) but now I see its been raised to 600. Surely if they can have payout limits applied, and applied at a more reasonable level like the 30 or even 20, then this fixes everything?
And how is this different to steemhunt for instance? Thats just specialist sharing of stuff to buy?

That guy does some funny stuff if you've ever followed him around bid bot Discords.
600 STU seems ridiculous. I do feel the 20-30 STU range seems more reasonable.
I still stay clear of discord, it confuses the life out of me!
sorry, its 300max but it definitely used to be 30.
I suppose that's done for the possibility of a trending discussion.
Some promotional services choose to not vote on content from @dmania, etc., but I don't think a significant number will opt for that approach.
