RE: Guess the bottom has started again. My thoughts on Steemprice.
good thoughts. i like the chaos of the New feed. so, a question, do you think that the structure that can be built by the individual isn't enough? there are tags, follows, and the mute button. it seems i can tailor steemit for whatever i want. i don't have any use for the porn or gambling so i just tune them out, but i wouldn't want to miss something by becoming too compartmentalized.
Hard question. As a new user, you enter this site and you see gambling and porn. As a single man or woman you might think! Yes! this is my kind of place! :) But not everybody is that open minded or want to see that. Plus it takes times to figure out how to use the platform. (if you want to mute things).
Steemit is a free-for-all at the moment and I love that. Unexpected things are trending every day. But if it grows bigger there could be hundreds of post every second. You are bound to miss something. A better structure or different frontends would go a long way finding the things you want in the future.
i have wondered a bit about the scalability of some of the things here. if steemit were to grow to hundreds of millions, some things would definitely need modification, at least. i would need a swarm of aggregation bots to find the things that interest me. i'd still miss important things. i feel that way already, about the whole internet. it's like an expanding fractal, where the microcosm becomes the macrocosm, or maybe it already was and i couldn't see it.
