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

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

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.

Sort:  

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.
