RE: Steemit Is A Game Changer And Here's Why

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

At the end of your video you mention the issue of downvotes and you say that it's some sort of a problem because sometimes users "get their money taken away by whales" and this might a form of censorship.

I propose to look at it this way: the process of curation is not really about rewarding content creators. Instead, it's more about finding the right price for the content delivered. So it's OK that this process involves both upvotes and downvotes - this way we discover the price the community is willing to pay. It's like buying and selling pressure that sets the price of a commodity.

However, we do have an issue with the UI. In order to downvote a post, currently you need to use the flag which is not really meant for this purpose (flag is meant to indicate spam or abuse). I hope the devs will soon sort it out, as this issue has already caused a lot of confusion.
