RE: The Irresponsible Bot Owners Contributing to the Demise of Steem

I would disagree and say Youtube isn't a blackbox, otherwise we wouldn't see all these "youtube demonetized my channel videos" and on the rare occasion Youtube actually just wipes and deletes a channel they don't stop that person from making another account telling about what youtube did to them.

On steemit while everything is publicly recorded on the blockchain ie I can see who downvoted me, not everyone peruses SteemDB to see what's going on, personally I've been on here a year and havn't really bothered to dig into that stuff extensively. Also I'm always discovering new Steemians everyday and the search function isn't great so its completely possible people on here are being fucked with by bots or high SP users and I would never hear about it.

Sort:  

we are not allowed in on the decision making process. we can't reverse the decisions made. here we can, if enough people, enough powerful people decide to promote something, there is no asking permission.

please youtube, please, let me do what i want.

bah!!

i am aware of youtube dropping subscribers, failing to report new videos to subscribers, and other dirty tactics to curb traffic to select individuals.

this is something that would be harder to hide here. people could at least take notice, ask questions, and investigate the real time squelching of information that may or may not be going on...

but with youtube.. we just don't know, it is just gone.

Things may be slightly more transparent here to someone who actually pays attention to SteemDB and all the innerworkings of Steemit, however your average person isn't going to. Also people can ask questions or make suggestions on steemit or youtube but on both places nothing is really going to be done about it

lazy users will be lazy, at least the option is there.
