RE: Enlightened Self-interest and Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

@cryptographic, thank you.
Enlightened self-interest is an academic phrase for win-win. Or even more traditional, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The point is the same. When we set aside our selfishness and greed we all win.
But that's really hard for many to do. So I'm constantly amazed by the very many on Steemit that actually do it. Sure, they often are rewarded by such efforts but again, it's a win-win for all parties. I'm not so amazed at those who game the platform for their personal profit. We seem to be locked in that ancient battle of good versus evil.
One difficulty that I see is that often the evil comes in sheep's clothing. Unless one understands how the platform works to a very high technical degree it is very hard for a new minnow to discern which "projects" and "services" actually benefit the platform and the good guys by extension.
So here's the proposition so someone with the knowledge to help:

Please make a list of Enlightened Self-interest bots, projects, contest, etc


Once made it should be updated and maintained by those who actually know. Then us minnows would be less likely to be scammed or duped. It could become our "cannon" and a mark distinction for bot creators.
I know there are posts that list various bots but often they are simply a catalogue of facts and NOT ranked by an "enlightened self-interest" criterion.
Again, thank you

This sounds like a really good idea. If I were to tackle this (can't since I don't have the time), I'd go about it one by one, finding a good project, bot, contest, etc. and then presenting it in a post with all the reasons why we should support it. That's how I would build a list (it might be shorter than we think), and commenters will probably mention a lot of possibilities too.
