RE: Steemit, Free Speech, Censorship and.... Comment Spam
I have seen a bit of this off and on since July. I haven't seen enough of it yet to be truly concerned. I have seen people come who do that, and then afterawhile I no longer see their comments. They either started doing somerhing different or they are no longer here. They may just be hibernating as well.
At this point, Steemit is perhaps not big enough, or "known" enough for it to be a major issue. It also may be that the fact that we don't get paid in ready fiat USD makes it complicated enough to not be attractive to spammers, en masse... but it's still something to be aware of. I've seen-- up close and personal-- how "they" can totally lay waste to the content of a good platform.
Yeah it might become an issue. Though I've seen how effective @cheetah was in dealing with it at the post level, so I am fairly confident if it becomes a problem we can deal with it.
Agreed. And I'd like to think there are enough of us who care about the long term health of Steemit to actively step in and curate spam appropriately, should it become a major issue.
