RE: Is Steemit a ponzi scheme??
Yeah I get you point. For sure a lot of problems to solve.
I think censorship becomes more and more a problem on social networks like Facebook f.e. . I have seen myself posts or even whole accounts being censored or banned for ridiculous reasons. Giving the feeling that critical posts are held back.
Institutions f.e. here in Germany were built up with the sole purpose to censor / ban critical posts. This is actually a fact.
Even though one would say this is not happening there is a huge risk that it could happen with conventional social media technology. Blockchain technology actually makes censorship impossible. If steemit would start to censor things, anybody in the world could make those hidden entries visible through simply connecting to the blockchain. This is a huge benefit of this technology in my eyes.
Yeah actually I saw a video news piece on the bbc a while ago showing how Germany is literally sifting through loads of flagged content on youtube etc... because various things are not allowed to be joked about. Coming from the UK, that for me is madness!!
I agree that the blockchain can solve that problem and steemit should be at the forefront of that mission but I think it's not delivering on that promise at the moment.
I'm gona post some ideas on how I think we could improve that aspect of steemit shortly...
Thanks for the feedback, and I'll check out those posts too
Hey there, you are welcome. Try to imagine that the info about Germany you have is about 4-5 years old I would say. Don't get me wrong but today we have almost "George Orwell knocking at our door time", if you get my point. So in my eyes censorship is a real concern for me.
I am totally with you regarding the problems with the platform although my account is quite new, so my insight is quite fresh I would say...
Anyways, I like the fact, that we had a nice conversation on this and in general I think this topic is not an uninteresting one.
Waiting for your posts...
Cheers!
