RE: Creativity Challenge #7: Crash
„Please hold the line, Sugar. I can't hear you - it's too loud here right now.“
Besides I just realize that I don't feel like looking at /promoted anymore because obviously what I feared is happening: A "guaranteed" sc01 vote is being thundered - the very idea of this section, to make good or important contributions more visible to an interested (and voting and interacting) crowd, will very soon be gone.
We'll see. I guess it will take a little while for people to figure out how best to make use of it, so I'm not drawing any conclusions yet. Hopefully curators will adjust and the rising cost to get to the top of the list will create the right incentives.
My biggest concern is the mix of languages. Even high quality posts aren't attractive if the reader doesn't understand the language. That's a general challenge for Steem, though - not limited to post promotion.
Yes, you are right - don't jump to hasty conclusions. The statement of sc01 to look a bit more selectively sounds promising.
I think we cannot and should not (want to) solve the "language problem". Nowadays, good translators are already integrated in some browsers. And to be honest, I'd rather have a foreign language translated and overlook the errors of an AI than be presented with gibberish by people who don't speak the language they've put into a translator, just because they think this language is important.
