RE: Content discovery! Steemit vs Reddit. (just a rant)

in #steemit7 years ago

Yeah, at this point pretty much only subscription feed is usable. Which is obviously annoying when their arent any useable discovery mechanisms to find people to subscribe in the first place.

Sort:  

Since follow feeds is the only reasonable way to use steemit, We barely can't post or resteem anything that we find interesting unless we stick to a specific subject, do it very rarely or create another account for other subjects. Doesn't scale at all.

Oh god, resteems need to be figured. Its really awkward when someone I follow decides to go on a resteem spree, burying my feed. I still adore steem, but I have a feeling steemit.com will eventually be remembered as a proof of concept site.

There should be a limit for resteems :) Maybe should be tied to VP depletion.

I'm not sure an on-chain solution is ideal. I can think of plenty of scenerios where resteem curation can provide a valuable feature. Honestly, I think the problem is because "steem" and "steemit" are still interchangable. What we really need is a seperate "uncensored chaotic mess steem viewer" and a "technically censored (in the sense dtube censors non-video content) steemit blogging platform." Like, steemit should force a tag like the other dApps do. But right now, they obviously can't, it would kill every other dApp.
So right now we are stuck in the unfortunate situation where a specific use case dApp is also trying to be a generalized hub. I have no idea how we deal with these growing pains.

I think communities might resolve most of these issues.

I feel that Steemit inc is withholding so much work that it's borderline similar to insider trading.

Only whales/investors can pressure them to be more transparent and open. But at the same time I prefer them to be selective and careful what they say/reveal, since anything they say/announce may have a impact on the Steem prices.

i forgot about those! Yeah, I have high hopes for them.
