RE: Why Anti-Plagiarism bots are Bullsh..

in #anarchism8 years ago

Excellent points. The hall monitors are forming brigades, and it's only going to get worse unless something proactive is done.

There need to be features implemented that both let the users control what they see and allows massive ethical sharing of content by embedding it (just like the rest of social media is doing).

These are my proposals to help fix the problem before the censorship bots and brigades gain too much power to control.

I like that you called them "hall monitors" that's clever lol.
I'm going to have a look at the links you posted, this is a very touchy and interesting topic for me... thanks for sharing and taking the time out to comment. I do appreciate that.

Thanks for speaking up, too many people are just letting this stuff slowly creep in without a fight.
PC brigades and censorship is why decentralized networks were created, I am stunned they are being allowed in this quickly.

I saw a comment on another post where someone said something to the effect of "I'm too scared to down vote (something-something) I honestly forgot what they were afraid to down vote... but the bottom line was fear of penalty to their reputation and monetization rewards. This is a problem because through the assumption of being dinged for stating your true opinion most people will not do what they are supposed to do and that is share how they really feel. They're going to just follow the flow and try to collect that steem. I made a post a while back about how there needs to be a fundamental shift in the mentality of people for this decentralized platform with rewards to work or it's going to collapse.
