RE: The Interview Series - Introducing @Byn
Really cool. Plus much swearing which is even better. Nicely put about the bidbots. I wish we could shoot those bastards out of the sky but unfortunately they're woven into the fabric of the Steemit earth and its fiefdomers don't seem to want to do much about it.
But we soldier on, eh ?
Hahaha, I had to go back and see where there was any swearing. I thought I behaved pretty damn well (and I did, because in real life I tend to cuss like a sailor.) It usually shows up more in my videos than my writing, though!
Agreed! I'm just expanding my reach outside of steemit at the moment and making sure not to put all of my eggs in one basket, because I am kind of losing faith in a system that is becoming SO dependent on bidbots.
It's sad, isn't it. I've felt ambivalent about Steemit from the beginning for this reason, which is a shame because its community is pretty damn fine. But it feels like the whole bidbot thing just shows it up as the abstraction many perceive it as - it's not about the people inside making something good. It's just about the investment.
Fuck that.
Still I harbour some kind of hope that the next hardfork might fix things there. I live in hope!
Happy to see someone else that doesn't mind a bit of swearing! ;) Do you have any questions that you'd like added to the interview list Sue-Stevenson?
