Reshare: One Thing That Facebook Does Right... Copy It!
I'm tired of copy-pasting this comment everywhere I go.
I'm making it a post so I can just link it.
From the start I have not been a fan of how this site is run in regard
to votes, whales, and witnesses.
I think it's retarded.
(Update: To my amazement, I found an article that agrees with me.)
This is my suggestion, one that I put on a post that is related in topic:
My emphasis is on making it easy to have reference to the line of creation.
Strangely, one of my favorite features of facebook is the Share button.
All I have to do is click on that, and BOOM:
the article or post is shared, and the original author automatically attributed.
I think the best way to reduce plagiarism is to make authors WANT you to share their work.
Why? Because they will profit from it.
How? Because the link to them is automatically included,
and each share gives them that much more money.
There could be two heuristics:
- Reshare, with something like (to make a general number up) 80% of the value of that post going to the original author.
- A comparison of the content written by the re-share-er, in that the more content that is written, the lower the percentage of the profit goes to the original author. Into, let's say, 50%, or more, depending on how well (how many upvotes) the post receives.
I've been talking about this for a while. I also talked with the creators of tsu about it.
There's a lot of things I said to them, and they weren't very receptive.
The same way that @larkenrose doesn't especially mind it if people share his work
(because it spreads anarchy, so he wins, and humanity wins, anyhow), so too does it make sense to create a mechanism whereby to invert the incentive and philosophy of "copyright" and "author protection".
What if the more people "copied" and "pasted" the work,
the more money the author would make?
NO FUCKING WAY.
I TOOK THIS TEXT FROM A COMMENT WHERE
THE HYPERLINKS WERE ALREADY PART OF THE TEXT
AND PASTED IT TO THIS POST...
AND AS YOU CAN SEE... IT'S BEEN RETAINED.
HALLELUYAH
WE HAVE A WORKAROUND!
XD
Eureka! lol
XD
It's not the best, but it's better than being shit out of luck!
It'd be really great if instead of focusing on monetary security, they'd fucking fix the issues that I and a few others are having with being able to use and enjoy the site consistently!
Then again, that is precisely what would secure the finances.
People use facebook for a reason.
It works for socializing.
Maaaaaybe steemit should try working on that too!
I'm here for the hyperlinking.
If it stays broken, I stop coming.
Period.
(Well, but the comments function so damn consistently though...)
I don't know if I can keep repeating this.........
beta beta beta beta beta beta beta...
beta beta beta beta beta beta beta...
beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta...
That is all.
We've already had the alpha....
There will be no alpha if their focus is on the economy as opposed to the social features. They will tsu themselves out of money.
Whaaaaat??
I thought it went beta then alpha.
What's after "beta" for this, then?
Gamma?
Comments that are upvoted in subthreads
REALLY should NOT be moved when upvoted!!!
Oh that is so cool!
You can change the sort order. It moves up because you have it set to 'trending'.
Um, nope. I have it set to "newest" and your 7 hour ago reply,
"You can change the sort order. ..."
is showing up before your other 18 hour reply,
"I don't know if I can keep repeating this......"
I am still getting my feet wet and barely a little guppy in this giant ocean of whales. Hopefully, Steemit will listen and be more receptive to new ideas. I am more of a content sharer verse a content creator and I want the creator getting credit for their content. Like I said I am still learning Steemit, but this post makes some sense and should be examined. But, let me swim on before a whale or shark eat my little butt
... Why would a whale or shark eat your butt for commenting...?
