RE: Thinking About Values: What Does INTEGRITY Mean to You?
People behave opportunistically! We can't change that. Thus, I think that we can't rely on just the integrity of the people. Just like the blockchain technology uses consensus and cryptography in order to hamper tampering in the same way in Steemit we need to find a way to steer the crowd in the right direction.
Yes, people do tend to be opportunistic. But even within that there is right action and wrong action. We can seize on a legitimate opportunity... or we can engage in dodgy behaviors to get something.
You're right! However, Steemit is a representation of the real world, it is a free market. So I believe that any regulation that would force it to behave in a different way from what is the natural way of behaving of human beings would not benefit to the system. I think that time will help in emerging the quality content and the honest creators just like the quality products that sell while the bad quality products stock.
