RE: The Steemit Tragedy of The Commons
Well Anyx, her is what I think:
I cannot comment the witness section (well i can, but my knowledge in the matter is just not enough).
As for the article section, I have the same opinion. I write ONLY original content myself. And sometime seeing news psots or posts that have been obviously came from the Wikepdia is upseting me.
For one, its useles, and causes more minnows to get less rewards
For two, its unfair when by copying a post, you suddenly get reward (it happens), and an original writer sometimes gets very little.
Im not against all the pictures of the kittens sleeping and so on, as long as its the authors pet that is been posted. Nothing wrong with that, after all it is a blog.
Though to make this a rubbish bin for copy paste is not an option
I definitely agree. Every time someone is rewarded for a garbage copy paste post, this is disingenuous to someone who spent hours on making something original, and will turn them off from the site -- leaving only garbage posters to post in a garbage bin.
Just as we speak, i realize for one more type of posts, i am personally agianst.
They are written by the author, but its things like "happy birthday to kylie minogue" or "compare the childhood pictures of ant and dec" and so on.
Once again, its just almost copied (as the information in took out from a source), and once again it makes people not wanting to post for no reward.
How do you think we can influence this?
People are doing this because they see it was rewarded highly in the past. We need to influence people, to be careful with content curation, and have whales follow in the footsteps of @smooth with manual curation to find gem posts.
Alone, we don't have much influence, but if the community shouts loud enough people will pay attention... I hope.
