@davidpakman I am curious about the situation where a large company (Burger King, Walmart, Pepsi, etc.) decides to get into steem. They easily have enough money to buy large amount of steem and get their content at the top of the trending page every day. Does this threaten the integrity of steem? Does it not matter because you can still search for specific tags and ignore the top trending posts.
Would love your thoughts on people with real money getting into steem with the intention of promotion and advertising.
Ha, I never make the trending page anyway! They wouldn't be taking up my space, that's for sure! lol
I think if they do that actually they would increase the reward pool, so at the end it will be more to be distributed among people. I wouldn't care as long I can skip that, and not be bombarded by forced videos like YouT.
Would be like "adds on demand" stuff. Sounds quite interesting and if the reward pool is increased that would benifit all the steemians.
Having a deep opinion on this would be of great information for us.
