RE: @dmania is BAD FOR STEEM - rewarding plagiarizers and thieves!
Blame those who won't waste their voting power (earning potential) to consistently flag trash that is upvoted by one service mainly supported by the CEO of Steemit? Sure.
I like dmaina. I'm staking them because I think they have a pretty good strategy on rewards distribution. It can't be done perfectly and I get it when there are examples of rewards going to people who didn't create the original content.
I'm curious, have you read their faq?
https://dmania.lol/faq
You get it that they're taking advantage of the community, earning rewards, by upvoting and rewarding stolen content?
A useful service would be one that takes the time to reward users and content that have been verified as original, especially when those users are earning $40+ for a single image, with @dmania taking a decent cut of each of those.
I have not read their FAQ, nor is there any way for them to try to explain their way around laziness and dishonesty.
Well, it's about scalability. They can't manually look at each piece of content. They had 1,500 posts to look at today, almost 1,700 yesterday. If their automation has a few bad hits, I see that as an acceptable trade for competing with the other free services.
Are you looking for a perfect record or is there an acceptable level you'd be able to overlook?
Rewarding $2 to someone who stole an image...sure, I can live with that. But, rewarding someone $40+ for that is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
There are VERY FEW memes that deserve anything near $40, if I had the time to do a reverse image search on all of them to pull numbers I would, but I've seen enough to know it's a problem.
Well, I think that's fair. I'm sure they could stand to tighten up their requirements more than they already have.
Or, not give out ridiculous rewards to unverified content. Especially when an original meme takes about 1 minute to create.
Yes, they could take 1 minute to create them. But very often, people don't know how to create a proper meme. For example ...
Hide the Pain Harold:
This is incorrect. Harold would never use dmania.
My point is, if we eliminate a bunch of plagiarism memes, we'll end up instantly replacing them with incorrectly applied memes. Maybe you'd be ok with that, though.
I'm ok being a little lose with copy/paste memes at the moment if original authors start moving over to dmania and things get progressively more strict over time.
I guess @masteryoda was a little ahead of his time.
I do share your concerns!
Making original content should be a clearly given criteria for posting on any Steem-app. The problem with dmania in particular is that the whole idea of a meme community is making and reposting memes.
While there is stolen content on Steemit as well, Steemit is a bank of knowledge which on a daily basis educates its users about what's okay and what's not okay. Dmania is basically just pictures.
But then again, maybe I shouldn't complain and start making memes instead;)
yo @berniesanders I totally and completely love how you are justice seeker here on steemit. I first found out about you with the haejin garbage, and you changed my mind about that fraudster. I must say though, while I respect what you do, on a side note - the real Bernie Sanders is a total fuckin' kook with no brain. LOL had to.
My memes never got paid that much!!! Here is a collection of them I made myself.
lol
Right mr. @berniesanders, who is rewarding plagiarizers and thieves.am appreciate on your post.
I buy the angle you are coming from especially with them possibly taking a big chunk of the earnings. It's pure daylight robbery and worst, no credit at least is given to the creator. I'll also add incompetence to laziness and dishonesty.
How is it any better or worse than what is happening on Trending?
We can all watch the same 12 people (accounts change sometimes) get all of the rewards. Or we can watch some people who are "Undeserving" in some way get the rewards. I don't like it and I can get triggered by it, but I guess if those are my options I would lean towards distribution.
I poke you sometimes and disagree with you, but I never doubt that you are investing time and thought into Steem. Thanks for that... Even when you disagree with me! lol.
It's not any better or worse, it's just another form of abuse that needs some attention. You know I've touched on the Trending page in the past and will likely go there again.
Okay, that is fair.
Here are a few positives for them.
They are upvoting a variety of people.
They are trying to address self-upvoting
They are doing a better job of spreading the Steem around.
I agree some shitty stuff makes it through their process.
I agreed .
seconded!
Sounds like it's quite easy to exploit. May have to give it a little test...
If you do it, I hope you publish the results.
I lol’d pretty hard at this.
I think this is meme worthy.
yer my fav. you crack me up.
thirded!!
Here are all the original memes I've made that haven't caught much traction. Thanks for inspiring me to make another one. I just shared the one I just made to my wall. Here are the rest.
I actually hadn't shared that top one yet. Hopefully it gets some upvotes here :)
Thats weird because ive seen it before...
Unless someone else had the same idea, I kinda doubt it. I've not shared it yet and my wife watched me make it so I have a witness lol
All of my memes are original, any likenesses are because I'm a stoner and probably forgot I saw it before...
🤷♀️🤷♀️ maybe i saw a similar one
Maybe I accidentally remade a pre-existing meme. Wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, how come NOBODY ever makes a fuss over this issue? It's very blatant and in your face it's disgusting. The circle-jerkers know it and we know it, yet we put our heads in the sand. There should be a variety of content on TRENDING, not the same Self-Voters and Circle-Jerkers.
Sheer waste of delegated SP which can go to a better project like Utopian. Dtube is going to have trouble too because people are copy-pasting videos.
