RE: Quality Maximalists are driving regular users away from Steem - Quality is overrated - Stop demanding it! -

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

It is definitely a mental shift from what we get drilled with when starting on steemit, I think though with the rise of DApps this will change since we now have things like Dlink etc and even steem2share (I am on the fence about that one) will bring more "shitpost" content into the platform but does it really matter? Steem is just a tool at the end of the day, and if I can use a butter knife to remove a few screws then why not.

Once we get to the point where the interfaces can more effectively separate content then the smt or interface will determine what gets posted. You will have medium, quora and that piece of shit instagram thing , they can then further eliminate content posted on their DApps which do not line up or find a way to hide said content , this will be needed regardless of how subjective content can be.

If I could build an interface I would definitely implement a method to hide over paid content from serial abusers and eventually their account. out of sight out of mind. and if it is an smt then hell yeah build in a method to completely kick them . That will be each DApps prerogative to protect the perceived value of said DApp or SMT , and sure if it is steemit then no rules go ahead post what you want steem and the everything buckets are merely the foundation for others to build on top of and with that they should not be implementing a lot of rules, which is something that the "community" needs to also keep in mind. Heck, even plagiarism is not a concern of mine since it just takes too much effort to go around being bothered with those people in a broad scope ecosystem, this is why the DApps and SMT will be good they can and should be a lot more forceful in removing bad actors and subjective or not this applies to overpaid content in general (slippery slope I know).

Sort:  

That's what the future holds for Steem and if some users can't deal with it it's their problem. As I said in the post

We shouldn't excercisse our incompetence of discovering it through punishing those who obviously have no intentions of ever producing it.

Thats of crucial importance. We need to find much better ways of filtering through and finding great content. THe problem with that is obvious. If judged on metrics such as upvotes, users can game it. If a team of moderators does it than it's not decentralized and all point is lost.

I'm unsure how we will deal with this issue in the future because when money is in the core of the calculation and humans are involved, wrong posts are doomed to come up eventually. We've seen it happen here and it continuously happens.
