RE: SteemWorld ~ Weekly Support ~ #9
A lot of people here want free access to the data without having to use a private key or register for their service. That's exactly what I told them recently and I won't implement any UA-Data (as they wish) as long as that is not the case, but there are a few more things I take into consideration. A more professional/human behavior when speaking to other people on the platform is one of them.
They call it a DApp, but it's not, because it is not decentralized. SteemWorld also is no DApp, therefore I don't promote it as such. To be honest, I'm currently not sure if my delegation to their service will stay for much longer. I have a bad feeling about the whole thing. For me it's a voting service without the need to make a transfer to receive a vote, not much more.
The rich become more rich, even easier, faster and more hidden than before, minnows receive a few cents and will be struggling with a low ranking for a long time. Most of the people with the highest ranks are at the same time the ones with the highest income and the ones that are not may find a way to build a fake network to push themselves up. I think it's nearly impossible to judge all people through a fixed algorithmic formula. Maybe I'm wrong, but I will stay cautious.
Thanks for replying so quick. I too am unsettled by some of the behavior I see some here implementing to try and meet some set of data points to achieve a higher score with them. To me, that goes against the very principles of social interaction. I would never modify my behavior here so some score would be higher. Seems to me, at least for some to be very manipulative, although to be fair to them as I have no access to their site it might just be people taking it out of context.
I really appreciate the way you conduct yourself and what you offer here. You trust that your work brings value to people like me (it does) and you allow for us to compensate you with upvotes, trusting enough of us will to allow it to fund the costs and perhaps make some money for the time you are putting into it. Your trust in the community is part of what this is all about.
Exactly! The same goes for me. I can't understand why people are no longer following specific accounts just to reach a 'higher' level in a centralized system. That's not my way and it will never be. I'm a human and not just a predicted, manipulated number. Reminds me to Mainstream Media where a few political correct dictators try to define how a good person needs to look, act and be like.
