RE: A case for autovoters

Ah, the entire social media you speak of is a business model that monetizes human interactions and plays upon our social needs. It has nothing to do with actual socializing because that is possible without any platform and always has been for the last 2 million years we have been human. So, the social media Utopia you seem to want from other sites is facilitated by an authority who monetizes each aspect.

The difference on Steem is rather than the central authority we as a community populate all areas of the ecosystem and, no one is confined to only being in one area. What you are trying to do is constrain and limit the very system you are also trying to use t o improve people's life experience with.

So, if you want it to be like the other platforms, that is fine but, never complain about people maximizing their financial values or milking cows because, that is the other platforms.

I thought you wanted something different, which is what I am aiming for but, take away the ability for each person to build and have control over their information and the value of it and, we can all go back to Facebook.

it is you who put the label on it, not me.

Much of what I do here I see as work and it would be the same for those on other platforms who monetize their accounts. The difference is we are all monetized here, including you. I don't put limits on where and when I am able to talk to people so all interaction is social, including when I am talking to my clients about their various business concerns. When I look at my account, I don't think I 'socialised hard' for it but the relationships I have made enabled it. The currency, the wallet, the value or whatever is inextricably linked to the entire platform, it is the platform.

You can call it what you want, it doesn't change what it is.
