RE: Why did a post telling people to report bugs make 3,000 USD in upvotes and my actual post about a legitimate security issue that the developers directly thanked me get less than 100 USD?
"Nothing anyone can do about it."
Not exactly true. The direction of Steemit.com can be manipulated by those in charge of the site and the platform in general. A constitution, code of conduct, and changes to how the upvotes and downvotes work could at the very least reduce and slow the onslaught of empty and corrosive "content".
Agreed. If we all sit on our hands waiting for it to 'come good' we'll end up with another dead social media project and a withering crypto currency. The developers are likely making considerable money the way things are but long term the community and the developers need to find a way to allow quality content to survive against shit posting and tit picks.
Step one I think would be curbing the power that early adopters have through abusing their steem power to give themselves additional steam power.
Step two would be facilitating better sorting filtering and provision of content based on what a user wants so that niche content can be linked with the users that want it.
Do you not see the problems in what you just said? This is not a decentralized platform when they have so much control over it. Steemit is pretty much private and Steem is simply stock in Steemit. Steem is inherently inflationary and centralized and acts nothing like Bitcoin. Of there's censorship, then this is no better than Reddit. The problem is with the underlying incentive structure, not the superficial things you mentioned
