RE: Steemit and "The Crab Mentality"
The Steem Whitepaper seems to want the crab bucket: https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf
The goal of building a community currency is to get more “crabs in the bucket”. Going to extreme measures to eliminate all abuse is like attempting to put a lid on the bucket to prevent a few crabs from escaping and comes at the expense of making it harder to add new crabs to the bucket. It is sufficient to make the walls slippery and give the other crabs sufficient power to prevent others from escaping.
Also, many people don't see what we see: that there is quality and it's not simply subjective. So they will ignore that criteria ;)
Didn't remember that from the Whitepaper but it all starts to make sense now :)
you've missed the best part, but please as long as you are here we are all happy :) would you like a tip, a pat on the shoulder, maybe a "Thank you nice quality post!!, Upvoted, Resteemed, :D " see @ krnel is here :) we are all happy we are so connected socially, with everything being recorded for our good :) and yeah the superficial qualities rewards breed :) well I know why I'm here and I will be as long as there are people like you :), annoying others whenever possible(bacchist :|) and keeping the not so easy task of not contradicting my own opinions :D
++ and not posting my comments on time either :D
anyways, sarcasm won't fix the problem, that is a normal thing it seems, most people don't care about your character your personality, "YOU" have to deal with everything, nobody will listen to you, they just like to hear you speak their mind, whatever you say gets bent through their own prism and if it doesn't concern them personally, nobody cares. It's strange how people are concerned with personalities, but only with their own, most people care about you as long as you do "work" for them :|
i don't see steemit helping with cognitive biases, nor should it, I searched on the wikipedia and found a loong list, +300 at least, so the idea here is what is defined in the whitepaper, read between the lines, it's nothing new, just another facebook :) ok it's a lot of things but nothing in general, I'm off to reread all the comments :D
my 1.06 SBD were donated to the null account the day before you made this post, I do care about you, but I can only send you around, wow my acc actually has value :D time to do some steeming work :D this shit pays after 3 months :D I'm cashing out when steem becomes a dollar :D again :D
I think actually most people do think posts should be voted on quality, and that this quality is not simply subjective, though because they will all differ on their judgements it clearly is.
Again, you'll have to work this into the system for it to matter to all the people.
Also, nice to see you around again @krnel 😉
Thanks ;)
