RE: What if We Could Put a Post to the Top of Trending WITHOUT Buying Votes? Here's How I Think We Could Do it!

in #community7 years ago

When I first started Steemit in May 2017, I had a couple of posts go to the treading page without promoting. I got lucky and the bigger accounts were looking at smaller accounts to upvote. Now all the bigger accounts are spending so much time on building they accounts to flag others, the little accounts suffer from it in a way, they are trying to make Steemit a better place for all.

Well, some of them are, but, I personally believe that taking the approach of becoming the self-appointed spam police is useless. Building and promoting better content would be a better use of their power. If they did, spam, would be much less profitable. It would simply cease to be an issue. Whereas their current approach revolves around them actually catching the perpetrators, and it's also bot driven and somewhat pointless, because many of the worst spammers, in my opinion, are large conglomerates that take and divide huge spoils every day. Their content is not useful. But, we'd love to have your help here if you're willing.
