RE: Vlog 411: Steem Engine + Appics + Virtual Miners
Great news on Appics! Athough reading their post they seem to mention a move over to EOS completely in the future (highlighted by a commentator on that post).
You gave a decent mention to the proposed changes in HF21, but nothing about 'free' downvotes. What's your stance on those, condidering you've not given a downvote out in just over 2 years? :D
I saw that too and I understand why they put that in there. They want to keep the options open but considering they never got delegation or asked for delegations from Steemians as far as I know it doesn't seem unfair. They are a business in the end. Also, these things must be clear and open for the investor of the Appics token from now on.
For the foreseeable future, they seem to be sticking with Steem in this unique way and I think it's cool.
I don't remember when I downvoted for the last time. I'm sure you must have looked it up. I'm not a big fan, I believe in flagging horrible (I am sure you can think of examples) content but for curating it's going to be nasty.
We have mostly good people on Steem that just want to have fun, for many a bad comment already feels 100x worse than a good comment and a downvote just feels a lot worse than an upvote. People that say that a payout is not a payout until it's paid out after 7 days are robots and they are forgetting basic human emotions.
Indeed, at least no-one can accuse them of an exit scam :)
re: downvotes
I did have a look and found less than a handful from you in 3 years. I agree that emotions ride high, especially when it's not really that piece of content that is disagreed on, and the flags have spilled over from previous events.
But I do think that with the potential for free flags, the community (and especially the bigger players who love the place) is going to have to step up and take part in some downvoting of obvious abuse - although, what some think is obvious abuse is not seen that way by some.
Cheers man, have a good afternoon :)
