RE: #DCEP Update: How real curators do their job!
Think I've seen your comments around before, but I just got the chance to go through some of your earlier posts and like what you had to say. I hope people take note of your efforts to actually be a human being when it comes to using dlive.
Yep, that's the goal. Most of the interaction nowadays are either left for attention or a chance of monetary rewards but people easily see through that leaving us with little real, human interaction happening. This is not just a problem for Dlive, but for all other Steem based apps and Steemit in general. Dlive is just a smaller community that I feel like I can have a bigger influence on than trying to fix Steemit, so it was a logical starting point.
It's hard getting exposure here but I hope that over time people will notice my posts and acknowledge the importance of honest engagement.
Yeah it's just game theory for maximizing earnings on a platform where >99% of the people are here just to earn. Most high earners' best strategy is to be a part of and maintain a few strong connections because they have some stake themselves or have gotten on certain peoples' good sides, and the small-time players all try to get those sweet comment rewards so their effort is spread thin because it's just good strategy for them to post anywhere they have a chance to get a small upvote. Hell, even I'm here to earn, even if I say what I'm doing with what I earn is a little different than most.
You're right about that, it's a good effort to try and start small and maybe see the change spread to other sectors of the blockchain at large instead of starting in reverse.
Yep, circle jerks all around and it's sad to see some users who you first thought were genuine and here with good intentions start engaging in such activities. I can't lie and say that I never took part in such activities but my motivations were honest at least (spend all of the circle jerked earnings to fund my contests and give out more) while the High SP circle jerks will never give anything out but rather take everything for themselves as that's the whole point; to incre their crypto stake.
I wrote a post calling out the biggest circle jerks on Steemit that I think you will find interesting. Check out the names mentioned, you might be surprised to see some of them :)
Yea, there is no other way to go about it currently, otherwise my reach will be to small the change will be unnoticable. This way I really think that I got a chance to change something.
