Whoa... SHINY! I got momentarily distracted by the concept of Colonel Sanders falling face first into an eternally receding ocean of cauliflower...
OK, so brilliant and true... and yes, Steemit is a test, and a microcosmic social experiment in which we can build a better alternative reality around this whole idea of decentralization. As I read I realized you just pinpointed something HUGE, that lies at the heart of the problems (or "growing pains," if you will) we're looking at:
"It's up to Steemit, Inc. to fix everything"
We have had centuries of training in believing there is always a "they" at whose feet we can lay ultimate accountability.
In the brave new world of Steemit, the old Hopi saying is the truth "WE'RE the ones we've been waiting for!"
Yes. Yes, we are. And that also means ALL of us get to step into personal accountability; to step up and "be the ones" who flag spam and plagiarism when we see it. Because there's no "they" standing by to fix the problems, which makes this place uniquely beautiful AND uniquely challenging.
hopefully you support who deserve as much as you flag spammers . there lots of people struggling out there they're not spammers they publish quality original content but unfortunately they're newbies in a place there is no place for minnows. if you truly want steemit a better place you can do anything to those who leave steemit everyday because of they got no attention at all and I don't mean upvotes I mean any kind of attention comments views . minnows vote for whales whales vote for whales . there many ways you could help the community grow but you guys choose war @denmarkguy
@mostafa1, I am actually a fairly active curator, and that includes "minnow content," and I especially believe in supporting those who sincerely want to become community members and contribute here.
When we talk about "the war on spam" we're talking about the many people who go around and copy-paste the SAME comment on 100s of posts. Some... have little interest in learning, sadly. Either they never come back to read helpful comments, or they simply don't care. And we are also talking about those (UNlike yourself) who just copy content from around the web and pretend it's their own.
I agree with you am just realize its roo hard to get attention in this loaded feed. What should i do? Do i have to post thousands of times to get noticed! Why there no project like resteembot wgich the whales follow to see the original content and flag the spammers @denmarkguy
And it will get much harder than it is now.
I agree. @stellabelle I think the only way to really get far on this is to build a true loyal human following. But look, we are once again debating bots LOL. Not that this is not interesting hehe.
true and scary
or uplifting if faced correctly
but scary as shit to this bait-fish
I do. just ask around.
Well said, especially like the reminder of the Hopi quote, "WE'RE the ones we've been waiting for!" ~ljl~
I'm still pretty new on Steem. How does one flag spam or plagiarism? As long as I'm reading stuff I'd like to pick up the trash when I see it.
