Memes are the lowest form of content and I think memes are slowly fading off into full video content. That will fade into full VR content. and on, and on. Until we are connected directly into the system 24/7. I can see a future for all of that on the blockchain where artists or creators can freely monetize and operate their business.
if people are circlejerk upvoting their friends crap content, it encourages more crap content. if autovotes do not check the content that their upvote bot is curating, it is also giving profit to people who are here to milk the system instead of users who are here to create, inspire and support.
@torico I agree with EVERYTHING you say. Love it !! Fresh air in a stale room
Wasn't really meant to compete with YouTube ever.. YouTube has govt money injection via google, the original youtube.com would already be bankrupt or bought out and destroyed by competitor without precious google. :D How can you buy out dtube when we all have the code as open source? How will you buy out steem with it's decentralized? Explain to me that. How it compares when it's comparing a freight train to a taco. The beauty of this is you can always fork steem or dtube, make smoke or toddtube @toddjsmith1979 Make your own thing. I'd love to see that.
The early days of Dtube was about quality and competing with You Tube quality/content variety wise. Today it's about circle jerking dtube groups. I'm talking about in the sense of what get supported on Dtube, not project as a whole like your thinking
Either way my good friend, it's all good. Like you said, blockchain has options and more will come. Stay safe @gray00
yeah the autovoters people use just jump in front of bidbot votes so there isnt curation. we only use selected curation by hand or our members who shown they create legitimate content. no system is perfect of course. but i generally see legit stuff looking through our autovote.
