NO way! The dude that ran the Super Bowl Contest wrote this post???
I know, right? A sports guy that can string some coherent sentences together and formulate a somewhat proper critique? It's unheard of! (It's actually funny that you wrote this because I often wonder if people think that...and now I know that they do.)
And in all honesty, I have lost any "raving fan" excitement of the platform as I have been watching some of these retarded posts going off. Some of these are just long-winded re-words of something that just popped up on buzzsumo.
Yeah, it sure appears that way - and you're also not the only person who notices this. It has consistently been one of the most criticized aspects of the platform when it comes to content/rewards. A lot of it is just a disagreement on preferences, but there is a considerable amount of criticism that is based on artificial popularity and voting "collusion" among larger stakeholders. And I happen to think that there is a lot of merit in those criticisms - as I pointed out some of it in this post.
Again, to me he was the "football guy", as I haven't been on here a month. But I pay a debt of gratitude for having at least one cool and intelligent person on here.
To be fair, there are several cool and intelligent people here. There's me...and there are my alt accounts. :)
Before I move on, I just want to say that was a joke, before anyone accuses me of arrogance, hypocrisy (again) and/or nefarious behavior (again). I'm looking at you, Steem Guild staff.
Just had four days in Prague - off the hook! Certainly merits a post - but mmmmm nah! Not worth the time to upload photos and actually make it readable. I am not a writer, I am someone who can make people understand and feel experiences, but who cares?
If you share it and it's not a complete mess, you'll get my vote! I love seeing (and feeling) worldly experiences. Make sure you send me the link if you post it. (You can find me on steemit.chat - username is "ats.david" there.)
How can STEEMIT call itself decentralised and market-driven when it is nothing more than affirmative action for shitty writers?
That's a fair point. It completely goes against everything regarding how the platform was supposed to evaluate/filter content, according to the whitepaper.
Thanks for the comment. I really do appreciate the sentiment. You should scroll back through my older posts if you want to see more stuff like this.
