RE: 📢 Announcing Steem Stock 📸 Photos, 🎥 Videos, and 🎵 Music - the Plan (+ Bonus SBD)
Looks like you put a lot of thought into it. Unfortunately, I think there is enough "policing" in our societies as it is. Steemit is a "meritocracy." Meaning, the community naturally polices itself, rewarding good content and ignoring bad content. The whole point of curation, as I understand it, us to insure the "best" (subjective) posts get rewarded accordingly. That is the policing mechanism in place already. Your proposal would be fine if it acted like Cheetahbot, alerting users that the content might not be original. Cheetahbot does not punish, censor or restrict users, however. I could be wrong, the Steemit community may welcome an additional layer of policing in there lives, but my hunch is, if my fellow Steemian are anything like me, they won't.
I wasn't looking at it from the policing aspect. This first part is essentially the same thing as Cheetah... for images.
Cheetah already hunts for duplicate text.
A Cheetah bot for images is going to permit a quicker response. Don't let me tell it hypothetically, bluerthangreen. This just happened yesterday while I was finishing up my project!
In that case, a Steemian had been allegedly posing as a photographer for a long time to get over 1000 followers. Thanks to @runrudy for hunting his photos down.
He was a manual version of the cheetah 2.0 bot I just proposed!
Now my project goes farther. It also incentivizes good behavior by having a place for real Stock photographers to make Steem with Steemians.
Where's the police? Is @runrudy the police? Ok, I guess. But a lot of people appreciated his manual hunt for the source of all those beautiful photos.
That takes time and resources... and it looks like it took @runrudy a few extra minutes or hours of time. Wouldn't an automatic one, a bot, make sense?
