Successful sites focus on traffic and engagement and do not have people who criticize what everyone else is doing.
I think what we are experiencing is people learning how to use the system, and a lack of functionality to filter out a bit of the Spam. I think it will work out.
Personally, I would rather see engagement, and this meme is in fun. :)
damn right! I will take it one step further .. I think a retraction/apology is in order ! ;-)
@whatsup if Steemit is the social media "society" of the future, then spam filters are the keepers of the peace. It isn't meant to punish with an iron fist, it just tries to preserve an ecosystem where the majority of users can enjoy.
When building a model airplane, some people prefer a kit with all of the pieces, and others want a block of wood and a knife. Creating rules of engagement that accommodate both is critical.
Typically half the content on a site isn't instruction manuals, etiquette guides, cheerleading, brand building, complaining, etc., about said site. Twitter would be a different place if telling people how Twitter works or complaining about not being retweeted or how people who misspell words was a way to turn a quick buck from new users. But this is still beta, kinks are bound to happen, and not all of them will be labeled NSFW
