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

in #steemit7 years ago

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.

Sort:  

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.
