without moderators steemit is just a platform to be abused. i believe there needs to be a proper mox of the decentralized and centralized to create a synergistic enviornment for progress. some people are so dead set on decentralization but they don't realize it opens the door even wider for malicious entities to ANONYMOUSLY cause problems.
I hope a team can come up with something thatgives the best of both worlds
you and one other person, alakazam, made a good point. there are actually two replies on here that are exactly the same, "experts like you", i just joined steemit and im following these trending "highly valued" posts to see what good content there is out there, but all i see are bots, replies that dont seem like replies just friends or maybe more bots, shit content. wtf.
I kind of agree, but I believe we need a change of culture not a centralized system. Right now, click-bait esque types of posts go viral. As a community we need to do a better job using our vote for actual quality content and not just attractive posts.
