RE: Steemit Suggestion Box: A Modest Proposal to Solve the Trending Page Issue, Once and for All
You're welcome @abh12345! This kind of thing matters to me; content and community matter to me.
I've also been part of "get paid to write" venues online for close to 20 years, ALL of whom believed they were "different;" ALL of whom (except for TWO of about 100) suffered similar demises. Steemit is also "different," but that doesn't exempt us from having to deal with the wiles of human nature. AKA... greed and short term thinking.
Yeah, I saw that post... and I realized it was more of "a reflection of human nature." The curation guilds involve things like "fairness" and "spreading the wealth." Hence, his post was authentically curated and given a "fair" upvote by each because "in all fairness" there are LOTS of people worthy of a "fair" upvote. Buying a bid bot vote is all about "ME, the MOST, FIRST!" Whole different kettle of fish.
I'm surprised a @curie curator hasn't arrived here yet
Paging Mr. @carlgnash, your input and thoughts are welcomed and invited here! And I'm not being flip; I believe this is an issue near and dear to your heart.
Yes, I have read your thoughts on this in the past, and respect your opinion due to the time you've spent online producing content.
On reading @yabapmatt's post today, I've gained a bit of new insight and this may fuel a post or two in the next couple of weeks.
Sadly, I don't think the post addresses the state of play here, as much as it discusses the maybe's of SMT.
Come on Mr Nash, we are waiting :)
