RE: March ’18 New Steemit User Report – Blockchain Business Intelligence
Interesting but not very encouraging stats @paulag. This is the most disappointing for me:
It is also disappointing to see the new accounts with the high SP are here to invest in bots. I wonder to myself are these really new accounts or are people trying to hid the fact they are investing in bots and using different accounts to do so with?
I hope that yours and abh12345's efforts as a witness can help to start to spread a bit of a positive effect.
I read about that Whale Share tool this morning too that enables the community to easily downvote posts that have paid to get on the trending page. I will be interested to see what effect that has too.
Thanks for compiling these and have a wonder full day! 😊
I prefer to upvote what I like and focus on that. People buy upvotes through bots. People do all shorts of things to go after upvotes or whatever that they want. We can say that is fair or not fair. We can try our best to stop them, the bots, accounts, the upvotes. We can try to downvote them. We can develop Whale Share tools like you said in downvoting, in flagging, in stopping. And each of us has that choice perhaps in choosing to do that. I try myself, so far, just to focus on upvoting.
I've never flagged anyone yet either @joeyarnoldvn. Mostly because my SP is too precious to me! 😊
Understood. Agreed. Thanks. Keep smiling. Keep up the good work. We do what we can to upvote what we like. But we also want to speak up when we see bad people, spam, abuse, etc. If you see something, say something. I don't have a lot of SP either and SP is very precious indeed.
My speaking up takes the form of reporting spammers to Steemcleaners @joeyarnoldvn. That works well for me. An added bonus is you can earn a small payment for doing so. 😁
That is good.
I didnt read that post yet, must go off and have a look
Here's the link to the tool @paulag. Unfortunately I don't have a link to the post that described it and the person doing the describing didn't add a link to the post itself either.
