RE: What is holding steemit back from further adoption - a newbies perspective

in #steemit7 years ago

So I love that the feeds are unfiltered, it lets me see more then just the little rock that I live on. Whales and bots are 2 diffrent and linked issuses. Humans should matter more, how to tell the whos a bot and whos a human we need that test from bladerunner. I pose a question to you. Wouldnt average users bring quility of content down to like facebook levels ?

Sort:  

@lordzugg, there's certainly value in the unfiltered look of the feeds, I guess I would just love to see filter options for those who would like to narrow down their view more. I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of the ability to see the feeds in their current state! The question about average users bringing quality down is interesting. I'd like to think that if people are actively curating (instead of bots) you would see those with poor quality content receive little/no rewards and good quality content would still get the upvotes.

I definitely see that an argument could be made that the definition of good content could shift and that might be negative for the type of users on the platform now. I guess I jumped to the conclusion that more widespread adoption was a good thing. Perhaps it's not! It's possible there might be a sweet spot for number/type of users to maximize the utility of this platform. I might have to think on that one!
