RE: Time for a 'Following' audit? - Some thoughts on User Authority
It's the very first time I'm reading about UA, so thanks for that! :-)
Apparently, the reputation score as it was designed in the beginning, isn't really significant (anymore). You may buy yourself a bunch of whale votes and easily increase the score while you can't buy a following from such an account. It requires real social interaction, networking, lobbying to be followed by the big fishes.
Great approach! Resteemed. Hopefully we don't have to wait for SMTs to see all the good ideas to be implemented :-)
Ahh good. I'm glad I introduced a couple of new people to the topic, it's a big one potentially!
I take no credit for UA, but do feel it has the potential to be a great addition to how people are considered - anything is better than 'Reputation', for the reasons you state above. It would be nice to drop this in along side and see how the community feel about it.
Interesting times for sure :)
Thank you very much for the RS!
Actually, we're trying to put UA online ASAP! Just finalizing its initial release right now ;-)
Sounds awesome! So will this be implemented just for Steemit.com, or blockchain wide?
UA can be applied anywhere on the Steem blockchain!
@cryptoctopus wrote an article that explains a number of use cases for UA here
Terrific! Thanks for the link :-)
