RE: Voting Abuse and Ineffective Curation: A proposal for blockchain-level change
you basically stated everything i wanted to say, but far better than i could've stated it. particularly:
- "As for the curation side of things it's certainly possible that the way content is ranked, served and displayed certainly leaves room for optimization."
and
- "Naturally it may be that good posts end up slipping through the cracks as more and more posts flood in from users trying to stand out, even then "good" or "crap" content in posts is subjective."
it's that last caveat that ends up being the sticking point. what's considered "good" in terms of curation when we get rid of the spam, the scammers, and asshats? it's a hard thing to quantify on that side of things.
Glad to have been able to write down how we feel / think.
At least someone read my comment, and that is half the magic of the interaction here. :)
We'll never be able to rid of all the shady spam and scam types, but we can certainly fortify ourselves against them both with technology and vigilant users.
